Yeah, I didn't have my engine rebuilt with upgraded parts in the name of my initial 525whp goal, but a few years down the road, I might see myself with a desire to move towards 700whp - depending on how it behaves on the road with 525. Plus, I've never owned a car with more than 350whp. I'll prob get myself in trouble jumping instantly to twice that power.
My car will only be for normal road use and will never see the strip or track, so if it turns out it struggles with grip at 525 on the road, I'll probably just leave it at that power level. I don't want to be spinning the wheels all day long in 3rd gear and up.
