It makes no sense for me to do 1/2 mile races. At my power level, I'm not going to set any records. I just want a strong running street car without spending 25k on an engine

I agree. But saying 800whp is reliable on any form of open deck isn’t true. Most people who say that never run at that power level. More of a status thing, saying I made that power. 700whp is about the limit of what a oem block can handle. Soho proved that after a year of racing before it shot a rod out the block.
