Don't mean to argue with anyone, but...

I'll try to address everything so far:

First off, I think what clouds some of your judgement about this engine in street use is the power it makes, BUT YOU MUST realize that it is not some exotic beast, just a straight-forward GM crate engine with a Vortech that is running low boost pressures and, among other things, a mild camshaft.

Second, I won't be "lugging" the engine around...I put enough faith in myself to drive this thing properly.

Streets, do you have an issue with the compression ratio with the supercharger on this thing and it's ability to run on pump gas? During it's testing phase, this engine has ran beautifully with no detonation on 91-octane pump.

F.N.G, I just can't buy the statement of having too much power...I don't have to be running with my foot in it all the time, just when I "need" it. Heck, I know some who say cars such as the ZO6 Vette and new Ram SRT-10 have too much power...

Also, on wet and icy pavement, I won't be getting into all the power of the engine...that would be kinda ignorant.

Why is the carb. such as bad idea with the supercharger? With the Vortech box inclosure and Demon carb, the engine runs great. Besides "normal" tuning that is required of carberetors, I fail to see where it will take that much more work.

And yes, it will generate a good amount of heat, but as long as you run a good cooling system, I don't see any issues with overheating.

Once again, not trying to bash or start an argument, just playing devils advocate. So far, no one has presented any evidence of this thing not being a very streetable engine for day-in, day-out use.
