Anyone who has owned does own or driven an LS1 or similar power.

There's no such thing as too much power. No one says you have to use every horse that's back there, so as long as it's you pressing the gas pedal you always get exactly what you need, as long as it's there. Never too much, just some extra you maybe aren't using. Now on the other hand it's really easy to have NOT ENOUGH power, when you're pressing your foot through the damned floor but nothing more is happening. That's much worse, not having enough when you need it, because there's nothing you can do about it. You're not catching that guy, you're stuck and you're gonna lose.
Just be aware that the car will need to be upgraded so the chassis and all the other systems are equal to any new power you put back there. That's a different question. |
