I had 677whp through a stock-block 2JZ-GE in my MKIII Supra. If I had the money to do it right, I'd do it again.

Edit:
and yes I realize that's not high hp in most circles. lol.

1000hp can be just fine on the street, if you build it right.

My car has 500 whp with a fairly agressive cam, and I enjoy driving it on the street, gas mileage sucks out of a 408, but oh well. and no I do not consider that high horse power, but its another opinion.

Oh, and its in an 00 Z28, with a 6 speed, 12 bolt, and 4.11 gears.

Maybe some of you guys are just getting old :P

I'm doing a 'higher' horsepower daily-able Honda setup thats being over built for the horsepower I want. 550 on pump w/ AC.

The setup isn't even complete and if I could, I'd go back stock. I'm sure I'll enjoy a couple 600s I play with or even a couple passes but the amount of work and headache I'm going thru, F this stuff.

Maybe cuz I'm tired of working on cars everyday as a hobby. I've been looking into just buying a fun car to drive instead of making one.
