Default Max Tractable Hp on Lude

Im tuboing my Prelude and want to know what peoples opinions are on how much Hp you can sensibly run. Ive seen car on here running over 600hp but I can get my head around how you can get this power to the ground! I will be using this car for street mostly with occasional drag runs. I was thinking around 400hp would be the max before things start to get silly.
Any advice anyone?

Chris

You should be able to net a fair amount of information on this subject in a search. Everyone's opinion seems to vary on this subject and the setup plays a major roll in getting power to the ground. I can tell you from personal experience though, 400whp is pretty useless on the street. Until you get a good roll going there is no traction what so ever in any of the first 3 gears. After that though it is pure bliss.

Yes, the only thing you'll deff. need is a stronger clutch.
