As I said it will be somewhat of a daily driver. Again...thank you for your time

You don't have to go big block to get 600+ horsepower... but that's another story. Were I looking for a semi-daily driver, I'd look to one of the mod-motored Backdrafts... or at the very least, fuel injected. The loftier end of the horsepower range is probably going to need a fairly snotty cam, which is NOT going to be happy slogging around in rush hour traffic. My engine still scares the crap out of me... and I've only just begun to explore that deep well of power beneath my right foot. It's a handful around town... between the heat wafting up from the pipes and the workout on your left quad. That, and the fact that there's so few places where you can actually use & enjoy all that excess power. You can tell people any horsepower number you want... 98% of them are not going to know if you're telling the truth anyways.
