This is my exact thoughts also! I know I went overboard on a lot of stuff on my car but HP was not one, it will have plenty for my needs and skills till I can get more experience. I can even say as Steve mentioned I found my self getting sucked into the "keeping up with Jones" mind set from reading the forums. I wanted to do a ls7 650 to 700 HP then I really stepped back and thought about what I would be using the car for the most. I can always upgrade!!
