a-men brotha... haha
i wanted around 320-350whp... but my motor isnt dowled.. some people say it safe, some not...
i dont beat on the car a lot, and i wouldnt have it running on high-boost the whole time...

It's a good idea, but not absolutely necessary. Really, you start to get into the need to dowl around 450 HP...
