Best route to 400HP?

ok well no matter what took a ride in, you can't truely sense or percieve Horsepower by the seat of your ass. You are feeling the engine brake torque more than anything on a 'ride along' etc.

OK, technically we are speaking of torque. you're correct I wouldn't want 350hp with only 110ftlbs of torque (turboed civic comes to mind), when I say hp I would expect the torque to be relatively in the same range. and 50ftLBS is a noticeable difference in feeling and 50hp is also noticeable feeling on the top end. If I couldn't feel the difference I wouldn't bother.
