Default Well it is like this...

A Cup motor tuned to make 815 hp and turn 10,000 rpms is a little peaky for street driving, not to mention the fact it idles at almost 2 grand. They are hard to drive around the garage area much less the street. Jimmy also would not like to keep barrels of race gas at his houses. I would say a pump gas street motor that makes 650 hp would be good enough. The car is going to have a/c as well. He is not trying to build another race car as he has a whole stable of those at his disposal.
