Yeah, that much power is enough to keep the monkey on your back satisfied for a good long time. I'm in the same ballpark hp-wise (but not torque-wise, nice job) and it still kinda scares me. I love it.

Honestly, I think above that power level is kind of a waste on street tires. 500whp, 600whp- they're all the same if you can't get any traction in the first three gears.

Haha exactly. I'm not sure what I would do with more power at this point. I have to baby the throttle as it is.

Yeah, I can't really give it any less throttle in first or second. What do I need more power for?
