are you going to be ok? You dont want to drive a 500hp car, probly not even a 400hp street car, it will be living hell.

i was going to have it tuned so i have options, one option has either low boost or none, another has high boost. i also have a 500hp mustang, i drive alot, just not in the winter,and a accord. i'm not worried about this being my daily driver. the accord is 100% stock so.

Quick question, if you're planning on exceeding 500hp or upwards of 500, whatshould be done tothe valvetrain? I've heard of getting titanium valves that cost like $70 a pop, but are there any alternatives, like carbonized steel? I'm trying to think of some hard metals... I eventually want to buy a project car and build it up for ***** and giggles. Just trying to gather some info.
