I have seen a bunch of so called high HP Imports, usually Dyno queens that put up good numbers, that cant get out of there own way at the track. That engine your building could tow one Import, while cleaning the plow of another down the 1320. Those guys aren't worth argument over, no matter how many times you out run them, they have excuses, empty bottle, missed a gear, spun the tires etc..
They put $20K into the Fart boxes, Big radio's, light packages froma UFO. Only to figure out the wont stay together, and are still slow, were a healthy small block in a moderate sized car are Both more reliable, and quicker.

Nice build man.
