...I want 20lbs of boost

Then again, that would probably make my car slower with only 275s. Haha.

I'm at the point where anything less than 400hp just feels slow to me. I remember in HS when Sean's 320hp Camaro felt like it 'held me back in the seat.' Ha.

For me it's more a matter of traction. I think an SRT4 has too much power for the traction it has, it's sort of annoying and I wouldn't want it as a DD. But then Sean's Cobra has more than twice that much hp and it isn't too much for the street at all.

Cambria makes too much for the tires, but with some Viper sized tires on there it might be livable, who knows.

If it has AC and a radio and isn't as loud as my Vette, I'll take 1,000hp with big enough tires, who cares?

Well, to be fair....The 20lbs. was for the dyno pulls. I will put the 15 lbs. pulley back on for street driving, in an effort to keep the heads on the block...
