I build for the rpm range the motor will happiest in terms of the driver and car, and then for the street its usually a budget decision of how much power in that range. With those two variables, the hp "happens" at the right time and 400, 500, or 600 it's all fun. Its really more of a torque curve plan for me when I build a street motor.

I dont see any reason to purposely strangle a motor if you can make more power in that rpm range you want, but not wanting to spend the dough makes perfect sense to me, and building with a hp number in mind has always been an odd concept for me for a street car. Drag racer, different story

With that being said, too much power? Don't push the pedal down so much.
