I totally agree with your sentiment. 500 hp is not nearly enough!

I find 650+ is approaching enough power, but I'm thinking 800hp is just about right. I'm limited due to running a stock 440 block, or I would have added a 150hp shot of N2O for use in second gear on up on my street/highway cruiser.

1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's
1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)
