With 450, I am happy. And I am pleasantly surprised at the performance of my stock suspension, 3.31 gears, and P Zeros.

I can't floor it in first. No big deal for me. And in 2nd gear, I'm am on the bleeding edge of breaking the tires loose all the way through the rpm band - which is good because 2nd gear isn't useless.

I THOUGHT I wanted stiffer suspension and all, but heck...afraid now if I do that, it will transfer more stress to the tires and then flooring it in 2nd might be as useless and flooring it in 1st today (making a tire upgrade more necessary).

Anyway, I'm really happy with it. I am not craving more. Whether its enough or not might depend on how you drive. I don't beat on the car on a daily basis - and maybe that's why I don't "get used to the power".

Forged and stroked motor, mild cams, 16+ psi boost, Steeda whipple belt drive, and new twin disk clutch and one piece DS.......that should do it!

(hopefully by next spring!)

You forgot one thing.
