Umm, dude? Unless you're planning on taking your ass directly to Nationals, you don't need that much power to be "competitive" in SM. That's "squashing everyone else like a bug" power in SM at the regional level. I've been "competitive" in SM with maybe 250bhp in a car that's heavier than yours and has a poor suspension.
Uh, actually, I *am* talking about Divisionally/Nationally competative. I think Dean and I would have a good battle in SM here in Reno, but we both know we're not really at a "competative SM" level.
