I think you have to factor in weight too, 300rwhp would be great for a <2700 pound car.. but some of the modern stangs are >3600 pounds..

Thanks so much for your info
You make a lot of good points and I can see how you came to have them
It is that same old thing for all of us ... I guess
Not "Sure" how much hp I need
but
I "Know" I need a little bit more
If he goes forced ... do you think a 306 or 331 OEM based block is gonna
live all that long putting down 500-550 rwhp?
I just don't see him going to a specialty block so that is why I put a limit
at around mid 400's which was kinda based off what I've seen on power
adder forums in the past

You guys make me feel so sad....make me feel sooo slow.
I want to hit the magic 300rwhp mark badly, just don't have the cash.
i would say right around 400rwhp is a good number. i was running 390/360 before i did the stroker and it was fun street car. i didn't have much of a problem in the rain, but i attribute that to the power being up high with the vortech. i would say shoot for 400 but if you come in at 350, call it a day. anything more you just run into problem after problem, first your cooling system is enough, then its the rear, then its the brakes, then its the tranny, then its the suspension, then its the tires, then its the block, then its......
I say 550-600rwhp. So many cars are 400+Hp out the factory.

what would you honestly need 600 hp for?? i still think 400 hp is to much for a street car lol
