However, if you want the headroom for more, I think you'll have the foundation for it.

Bingo Tony, I want to stay around 550 at the wheels right now, i'm mid 20's, single, and don't race the car at the track every weekend, if i get 6 or 700 to the tires i'm going to be doing nothing but spinning all day long, thats not fun for me, maybe someday my plans will change when i want to just have a 800RWHP insane beast of a car, however i'd rather not have to redo the shortblock if that day ever comes along.
This whole build is going to be overkill for my application, but I really don't want to have to replace the engine or trans ever again, no matter what i do to it.
