Build for RELIABILITY and simplicity, not horsepower/torque Sammy! All of that power is meaningless if your car dosen't run & we all know how much it sucks to have your car down in the garage.
That's a fact, which is why you see a very basic 5.7L in my car. While I don't have the funds to go crazy with it, it'll do 95% of what I want, when I want it, reliably and not stressed.
