You know, it "used to be" that 400 hp was the maximum that anybody said could be used on the street. Sort of like what Bill Gates said about 10 years ago We have 800Mb's of processing power (or some x figure cant remember exactly) that should be enough for anybody.......yeah right.

But if you are mianly using this car for street fun and the occasional drag shootout, then the thing that moves you is torque more than horsepower. Torque is all about pulling power starting at moderate engine revs and having a good power range. So the 383 stroker is a good choice for achieving this. If you want to go for horsepower it is usually a high reving narrow torque band screamer. And the higher the engine revs the harder it is on parts like valve springs for instance. So there is more time and money spent on maintenance.
