After 650-700HP on the street is traction game....Anything in that arena lights the tires at 70mph. You need a prepped track after that.

I'm not sure if the power level needs to be that high before it becomes "useless" for a street vehicle. A larger CID will help you get the "crazy fast" street car level easier and usually remain more driveable. It's also impressive at the cruise nights to have the "big" engine under the hood. I recall having a bunch of foreign exchange students shocked that I had a 7.6 litre engine in my 80 TA. They had never seen an automobile engine half the size, where ever they were from.

I agree 100% that's why I have been looking into the LSX454. I'm an old Pontiac guy that believes in no substitution for cubes. Owning several big Ponchos and LS's I equate it this way.

Big cubes equals instant power, LS is like a 2 stroke dirt bike, until you get in the powerband it leaves a little to be desired.
