It is fun to going onramp flooring it and smoking the tires @ 70 mph, but it starts getting kinda dangerous and nerve wrecking as well, especially in a car so nicely built as that 67.
As for myself I always dreamt of making that much power and still drive on the street. Now that I have it (IA2, F1R 15 lbs.)in my car I find myself not driving it much anymore. Guess the journey was more fun than the destination...

I hear you. Scary when your on the rev limiter before your foot hits the floor at 50mph, even with 390-45-15 drag radials. I brought the boost down to 11lbs and it still is stupid on the street.
