Why on Earth would anyone even want 550+ hp on the street?
On a 3200lb A-Body no less!
I know I contributed no help to this conversation, but I had to say it...
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!
When I was about 18 my friends uncle built a twin turbo car that was pumping out around 2000 hp. He would drive that car up the interstate to local cruise ins at resturants and it blew my mind. Now I have a buddy up the street with a twin turbo LS in a beat up old malibu wagon that is right around 1000 hp.
If I had the money I would build the most powerful well mannered engine I could but because of this post I have learned that with a factory block 600 hp is really pushing it. Instead of satisfying my desire for ungodly power with my little small block I will be keeping my dart as a nice cruiser that I can hop in and take road trips in. One day I will build a big nasty boosted mopar with ungodly amounts of power though.
