Well
The original question was ............
What do you consider too much power for the street?
I'll share a thought or two
IMHO ... Power alone is not
what makes a successful, well thought out combo
Everybody has their idea of what is desirable in a combo
To me ... torque on the street is where it is at
When you look at some dyno charts where they produce high hp
but
They don't have much low and mid range torque to speak of
Hopefully ... you see what I'm trying to say here
But ... if we just use ... POWER ... to judge good or bad
I would rather have a lower hp combo with great low/mid range tq
as opposed
To one that produced just the opposite results
For that reason ... I tend to be attracted to forced combos that
employ KB's and Turbos over Centri blowers
Also ... part of the original question was about drivability
Sticking to what I have the most experience with
NA and OEM blocked based combo
I'd tell you you can go 300 to the wheels
and
It will drive like a stocker in every way
but
You will have to deal with some cam lope
I do expect you could push it to 350 but the lope at idle is gonna
be more severe
The original poster seems to be asking fairly basic questions so I'm gonna
assume nothing and point out these facts about what I've shared here
A combo such as I described will have these characteristic's
Cam lope at idle ... you will attract a lot of attention ... not always a good thing
Bad around town gas milage
Overwhlem the OEM cooling system
Require a very light right foot when it rains
A custom tune will be a M U S T
Bottom Line Is ... If you only have one car to drive everyday
You need to give it a L O T of thought and come up with a good plan :Word:
before
You spend your money
