Thumbs up small block for FIA

Hello all, I need some advice for some streetable power for an FIA. I have been looking through these threads and there's alot of good info but im kinda of a newb at this and have some questions.

351w stroked to 408 - 460 hp from Southern Automotive for an FIA: Too much low end torque to make the car streetable? Will an aluminum flywheel help the motor spin up faster for more usable HP on the street?
I am concerned the motor may have too much HP for this car, is this possible? Will this much HP consistantly break the tires free "by accident' or will I get used to it.
Would this motor be better suited to a 427 car because of more car weight and wider tires?
I wanna haul A$$ but not to the point that it could get away from me easily.

Suggestions for a motor? not concerned about "correctness"
I'm going to put $$ down on a Unique kit SOON and need to make some dicisions about an engine. Going with a TKO 600 Trans.

Sorry for the ramble, but, I know this forum is the standard for everything Cobra and I'll eagerly wait for some replies.
Regards. Ted G.
