opinions on hp please.
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. But here it goes.I am at a place in my build where for just a little bit of a change I can move from 700 hp na give or take a little to 800 plus.but will take a little more maintenance and loose some driveability.just trying get a few opinions.I don't want to take the fun factor away. Should I leave alone and just add little spray or what?

Depends on what the "change" is. I can tell you this: 700hp is more than enough to be insane on the highway and to run 9's with relative ease.

Your post is pretty ambiguous, but I personally think a 700-ish hp car that was streetable would be way more fun than a 800 hp car with poor driveability. I wouldn't have a car that I couldn't cruise around town in, though.

The change is a little more port work and a cam that is rougher on valve train parts

Personally I think when drivability starts to suffer it's not really fun/enjoyable anymore. It's easy to get caught up in the HP game but if this is a car you still like to drive on the street I wouldn't get too crazy with it.

Put it together the way you planned and drive it.Then if you want to you can upgrade later.
700hp N/A is gonna have some shitty driveability anyways since it wont be a pump gas motor
