Exactly. I'm not trying to build a race engine. I work at a race engine shop....all day, every day. If I wanted 1200HP and 900 ft lbs tq......of course I'd choose a different combo. This is gonna be the simplest,least expensive and quickest route to be out cruising......and guess what....DIFFERENT....imagine how many folks will look under the hood and say " what is that ? " It will sound real nasty, still have over 400 HP and 400 ft lbs TQ....if not, its no biggie....

Thanks for all the input. I do appreciate it.
