451 for a street car??

I had a '71 Duster with a 451 in it, with 2 100 hp shots of nitrous. Drove it on the street 200 to 500 miles a week without N2O. Took the nitrous off the car when I sold it, the new owner let his 16 yo with a fresh new license drive it one night, he wrapped it around a tree. I bought the motor and trans back, & they are sitting in my storage area awaiting a new home. My car on the street had good manners, as long as you were careful how hard you mashed the loud pedal. I along with some of the previous posters have driven higher HP cars on the streets most of our adult lives & had to learn our lessons, some of us the hard way. Most of us survived our mistakes, but it is a learning curve when we all started out.
