If you're building the car for the 60+ mph roll racing that is popular today, either legal or illegal then you probably need your 1000 horsepower to partake in today's automotive equivalent of a d*** measuring contest. If that kind of racing isn't your main concern you can build a much more reliable engine that is easy to drive on a road course of autocross.

Roll racing my be **** measuring but if you're going to try to convince me that doesn't go on around here or on the autocross scene, I not buying it. Even friendly measuring is still measuring. My general question was simply Are there no options that include a setup that can do both with a different tune, pulley, boost level, etc??
