    I am just about the only person that believes that there is such a thing as too much power.

    180-250hp is about all you need in compact cars depending on the car's weight. With older cars you don't get traction control, so anything higher than that will have way too much wheelspin to be driveable.

    if thats all you want why are you trying to swap from a aba? i would stick w/ the aba...

    1) its cheaper
    2) you can get those numbers NA(under 3k), Supercharged(under 1500), Turbo'd(under 3k)...
    3) its more impressive then getting a NA vr6
