To mouch Horsepower!!!!!!!!

[SOB/RFH]

I have a friend who I met several years ago and he was going to build him self a HP engine. So we gather in my shop for some serious discussion of the subject.....I get to the point after some round talk and ask him "how much horsepower are you looking for".....he look at my motor and ask how much horsepower I do have.........It all ends with him stating "Is that not to much horsepower?". I have to admit that I never had a upper limit in this subject......But can one have to much horsepower?

I would think there is such a thing as too much... but it depends on the appliction I guess... there's limited room for tyres... my max so far has been 235's under stock fenders... so depending on your tracktion and how much you can get down in the road there's bound to be a limit... within the confines of this style.... 

I would think the limit is around 975-985 hp... on street legal slicks...

You can not have to much hosepower, you can only have to little traction.

This guy had too much horsepower and no problem with traction...


The quarter in 3.58 with a trap speed of 386 mph.

I like my life too much to try something like that.

To much is never enough, or is it?
