My engine is 425hp, and it puts about 310 to the wheels. That may not sound like much, but there isn't much that's pulled away from me on the street either. I can mash the throttle to the floor, and my car just goes, no wheel spin. I can go full throttle through a tight turn, and the car just hooks, it doesn't overpower the rear. It's just really nice to drive at this level.

geez... I guess I'm the resident candya$$... I've had my Backdraft for a little over a month & have yet to break the rear tires loose- (maybe I'm still scared of it!) ...and that's with an aluminum 427 Windsor stroker (~615 hp/tq). I was actually quite surprised at how easy it was to drive (despite the stiff clutch & offset pedal position). Y'all have lead feet!
