Yep, pretty much sums it up.

My advice as an engine builder is to go a little bigger on horsepower than what you initially perceive as adequate. Most guys will learn their cars in the first year, then will inevitably come back asking how they can add a little more power.

A 600-650 hp FE in these cars is pretty much the sweet spot, IMO.
