[CHEVY 4WD]

Theres a BIG differance between enough and to much power
Because you cant have to much power

There can never be too much power. Well... I haven't ridden in a 6500 horse top fuel dragster either. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

My experience has been:
More power = More problems.

But who doesn't want more power! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Now you are just making me feel bad /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I don't even fall into the lowest HP bracket that you put in your poll /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Then again, my truck is still (somehow) able to pull the front left up under hard acceleration at the 1-2 shift /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. I will call it enough power when it can pull up both front wheels by simply stomping it from a dead stop /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I guess it just depends on what you are doing. I've got enough power to twist the drivelines with good traction but I cant consistantly pull first place in the mud races.

thanks for the replies everyone, it looks like you can't have too much if you know how to use it right /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Branndon:
/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif good reading this post!!
good question, just hard to get a straight answer to it.
to much power is, when you break it; you have to fix it.
then its a question of $$$$ good /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif
will it start and run when you want it too!!!
I've tried to look for upgrades, usually for better durability and will it be more dependable.
I hate walking, when I should a been drivin..
is it for fun or your daily driver? /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Dependant on what it is used for torque is where it is at.
For my purposes I need lots of low end grunt and plenty of HP to spin the tires in the goo.
With not to much effort any one of the 454's I have can make 450hp @4500K and 500ftlbs at 4K
And that will feel like there is a JATO strapped to the back compared to the anemic 305 that is in it now.
