In my case, I like to drag race. Money has kept me from racing this year with only one income and the sort, but I love to go to the dragstrip. I make a little over 1000 hp, but rarely use it on the street, but it is there if I ever want or need it. With turbos it does not effect driveability at all. Whether I drive around with the boost at 10 psi or 25 psi, it still drives the same untill it is floored. It is mostly just a side effect of turbos that they make massive power. My last motor was a 427" fuel injected N/A small block, made 650 hp and went 11.0 @123, but it was not a "driver" motor. I also wanted to go 9's as I drive it on the street. I wanted a street motor that was more reliable and was super cheap to build and no maintenance to drive, so I built a twin turbo LS1. Does that answer your question??
