Anyone who has owned does own or driven an LS1 or similar power.
IM asking if this is too much power ? Is traction too hard to acquire ? I dont really want a burnout queen, if ya know what i mean |

I just don't get the guys who ask about power. The throttle isn't an on/off switch. Learn how to use it. I guess the answer is, if you have to ask, then it's too much.

I totally do. Factor in speed. Boil the tires at 10mph, or pass a string of cars at 110mph. Yes you can have too much power if you don't know how to use it. But at some point you are going fast enough that it doesn't boil tires any more. This thread is about an LS engine, not 10000hp. And like I said, if you have to ask, then it's too much power for you. |
