    the point i was trying to make is if you are just driving this car around TQ is what will get it moving after that your looking at hp so if geared rigth you can work with TQ not the hp and for driving around you will have more use for off idle TQ shooting for just HP is not good if the engine is never going past 6500 rpms on the street .i would cam and gear of max TQ and not worry about the hp
