Well Matt, IF you think 550 HP is "streetable", I'll put the Huffered 383 stroker back in my Pail and take out a million dollar life insurance policy on YOU and you can take the pail down the street with the pedal to the medal.. (IT Gets kinda squirrely from 70 to around 160 and more so if ya happen to just let off it quick like) I'll be 1 mill richer and you'll be pushin up daiseys.. ON the track its fine with the 555HP But, that's only a ¼ mile and a ½ mile shutdown.. Besides with THAT much HP ya got tons of heat and noise and the cops would love ya.. They'd get writer's cramp in their fingers!! 550 HP Is NOT "streetable" at all!!
True, maby in a heavier car ( Chevelle, Impala or other such large car ) it may be streetable with the right amount of traction but, not practical because of the heat and noise as you said but deffinetly not in your pail, it's way to light.
