Sounds like the power's OK:

Performance costs money

You'll inevitably find someone faster than you, eventually.

What are you running this combo in ? a Monte Carlo? It's hard to get an idea of the power/weight ratio if we DNK what the vehicle body is...

Something you have to beware of is will that stock tranny take the punishment of a high torque engine. Also are the connecting rods on the pistons stock or did you upgrade those as well. Torque can also weaken the connecting rods It would be a shame if you put all the time and effort into the motor to snap a connecting rod.

No matter how you slice it, if you're going racing, legal or not, take that initial investment and times it by at least five to get your end cost.

Performance aint cheap, and winning costs a fortune.
