HP, its just a number. (a torque and rpm derivative)
and then there is torque.
why fix upon one simplistic number "xxx" HP ,
why not ask you self .?
what power do i need?, and when do it need it? and under what circumstances./?
1: want to pull stumps (me)?
2: want to come out of turn 4 at 85Mph and accererate faster to 150 MPH?
3: want to run 1/8 , 1/4 mile drag faster.?
4: want wider power band. so car is fun to drive on road.?
5: longer list. for sure....
you can tune the motor anyway you want and the HP NUMBER, is the least important aspect of a driving machine.
It's the power delivery/ timing and handling.
for me, id take a wide power band (lower HP) any day over a higher peak HP motor..
cheers.
