I would say true up to 450 RWHP, after that anything more is 99% bragging rights and 1% "useful" to the very few who are in a situation where they could actually use more - like a drag strip. If that's your gig, then just build a gasser and be done with it
On the street with two guys of equal driving ability, the guy with an aluminum 450 RWHP windsor can run against any size BB/high HP/torque monster and win a 0-100 mph sprint. Make that a race through 20 miles of twisties to your favorite lunch spot, then tell the windsor guy what you want and he'll have the sandwich waiting when you get there.
That's how I assess getting from point A to point B faster
