Yeah, that much power is enough to keep the monkey on your back satisfied for a good long time. I'm in the same ballpark hp-wise (but not torque-wise, nice job) and it still kinda scares me. I love it.

Honestly, I think above that power level is kind of a waste on street tires. 500whp, 600whp- they're all the same if you can't get any traction in the first three gears.
