You can pull 200 hp out of a 250 @ 4200 rpm with 225 foot pounds of torque at 3800 rpm, and still have a very drivable and dependable street engine that sounds like it wants to kill somebody.
The 2 barrel/single exhaust 350 in grandpa's 4 door led sled runs 195 hp and puny torque. 350's are for the bolt on billet crowd, not guys with engineer boots and 90 wt in their veins!
