Message	Hey people I have a simple in your opinion question. I am getting ready to build a new motor for my 90Z and want a little input. I want some real power with this thing so I know I want to go over 600hp, and its only going to get driven on the weekends. But I want to still act like it can be driven daily if need be. Since I know many people on here have built over 600hp cars, whats the most power you would run on a street car and have it still be manageable in city and highway driving? I would like to run sub 11sec in the 1/4 without stripping weight from my car. I was thinking of trying to get 750hp at the rear wheels. Any opinions are welcome but please keep it nice people this is just a discussion.
