I also think if geared right for great low end torque less hp for me is OK. I like the plant ya in the seat acceleration and not so much going 150mph. But like Steve said got have a quality booty behind the big belly to keep her stable.

As long as you can get at least 80 miles per tank, that's enough power for me. I dont think you can ever have enough power

I say there is no real limit as long as it is reliable and you aren't rebuilding a motor every 5000 mile. Also you gotta have a drivetrain that can handle the power and not be shelling trannies and rear ends all the time. Another viable option for turbo motors especially is to have more than one program for your ecu. Maybe a 103 octane race setting with high boost then a 91-93 octane low boost setting for driving around town.

How do they know how much HP you have?

You have to tell them if you want to have insurance. They ask what engine, specs, etc. Insurance companys are not dumb like they use to be. They know all about pro-touring, pro street cars. They even have a handle on old cars using turbos, superchargers etc. They were selling insurance at the Detroit Autorama 2006 event.
