I want reliability and fuel economy..... If i wanted over 1000ft-lbs, I wouldnt be putting it in a classic frame... I would be putting it in a 2 ton truck. I personally dont see a point ni making ridic power numbers.... your truck still wont be fast, and it will end up breaking some very expensive parts....

esp when you can have a super reliable vehicle, and put a sportbike in the bed... which is what I do.... stock my bike runs 10.50s... so what would be the point in thowing $5k+ at a motor/drivetrain when i can buy a bike for that same $? just my $0.02.
