I'm the wrong guy to ask because I'm a striaght line guy & run a Pro-Street Mustang. To me realistic Horsepower is all the Horse & Torque you can get/afford. My car is totally custom as every little thing had to be beefed up to withstand the sudden come-on of 1200 horse. It's a domino effect. You can't just put a beast in a car that isn't set up for it. You'll hit the gas & twist the frame, crack the windshield, drop the tranny, twist an axle, etc, all in a split second. Whatever you do, set the entire car up to handle the motor.
Regards,
