take a 280 whp fwd car into the corners.
then take a 245-260 hp car into the corners

which one is smoother.

not the 280 one.

i have already tried this.

It was an example.

Can never have enough power. As for your question its all about how much your going to push your SC. IMO anything over 270 whp and or a smaller pulley than a 2.8 = forged internals.

Trust me though, can never have enough power. Once you run 14s you want to run 13s, once you run 13s you want to runs 12s, and it keep going. Thats what happen to my Camaro and I. Finally seen 10s and it was getting a little out of control. lol

you can get 1000hp from our engine. it just depend on how much money you have and are willing to spend, cause you engine is only good for 1/4 miles whenever you drive it. then the rebuilding begins..
