True on the revs, but just how much power do you want and how much power can you actually use without just blowing the tires off and make the car almost undriveable on the street??? The rest of the components in the engine also have a lot to do with what RPM level you plan to run at. Even a track only car is going to need to limit the power to a usable level equal to that of what the driveline can withstand and the suspension can hook up....unless your just after a "bragging rights" dyno figure. Having 900 horsepower and using 900 horsepower would require that the rest of the car is up to the task.....
