At over 600 horse I had "to much". The price for that kind of horse power, in my case, amounted to an engine just barely suitable for the street and the constant search for "race gas".
I dropped the horse power to about 500, with lower compression, "softer" Holley carbs and a more mild cam. I couldn't be happier. Was running 11.90 and now running 11.99. In both cases a nice easy launch and NOT trying to set any records. It's "fast enough", gets better mileage and is totally "street friendly"!
