How Much HP?

[Dan]

Based on Hurricane frame and suspension design, and real-world experience from cars that are on the road, how much HP and torque can a Hurricane accommodate? I appreciate the "you can never have enough" mentality, but I don't want to pay for HP and torque that I'll never be able to fully utilize due to the car's limitations. I know tires and rear-end play a big part, but are there targets I should be planning towards when shopping for a motor?

I've got a few things to sort out yet, but I've had enough road time to know what I've got.

Hey Dan,
I agree with Brad. The car would probably be able to handle more HP than most people could put in it. It would be more a matter of what could the driver and the tires could handle, I think.  
500+ horse would be no big deal at all for a Hurricane IMO. I'm guessing that HM1002 (the one on the home page) is in that HP range.
