how much power is too much?

I want a sleeper, and a stock GT is just that, I had my rice rocket and gave up on it. people will recognize a rouche because of the sidepipes, aerokit, and badging, same with the cobra..... and not unlimited funds, just able to spend what is necessary to make my lil GT a beast in disguise.

and the cobra is nice, but needing a SC to get the power? sorry, that is why I'm T/Cing the GT..... plus I do all the work myself when I upgrade, so I start from the ground up..... though I Could do a cobra engine, and get a shortblock for that........ though that might take more converting on top of what is already needed. anyhow.

I'v decided to cap of at round 600 HP to the wheels, any more than that and I'll hook a 100 shot of juice. that should sate my hunger, and not put that large of a dent on my funding......

going with either a probe or DTM shortblock, TDC 2x power adder, tremec T56, tri-ax shifter, steeda billit whywheel, spec clutch stage 2 with kev pads, aluminum driveshaft, 31 axels, new wheels, tires, and full suspension....... going to cost more than the f*&^#%g GT. erg....
