When is enough enough???
The reason for this thread is for informational purposes and to confirm my setup.
I have a Jag rear with 3.55 gears with a Detroit locker. My new motor is a 454 FE with iron heads that have been port matched to the manifold and produces 470 HP and 580 FT. I told the builder I wanted a streetable motor with very little maintenance that I could drive everyday if I wanted to. I am running MT Street Drag radials. My car from a rolling start will spin the tires up to the rev limiter in 1st and about half through 2nd gear but then it gets interesting real quick.   .
I don't know how someone with "regular" tires can get ANY traction. 
I love the big numbers too but in the real world what good is it if it won't hook????
