That has been my biggest concern (also why I ordered the DSL from BMR for now). I am not sure what exactly the limit of the M6 is (varying from person to person), but I would assume stepping over ~700 to the wheels is going to at least warrant a better clutch. This is assuming traction is actually present
The main purpose behind making this thread is to get some ideas from the masses of things that have been mentioned here that quickly become concerns as power rises. As @bishopts post points out, its easy to throw parts at a car just because they look pretty - AutoZone has an entire isle for that (the 'pretty' part is quite subjective).
Now, to be fair, I am not sure how far I am going to take this build. I doubt I will go as far as @Joshinator99 has, as I am also building a '67 with the intent of going HEAVILY strip focused with a splash of "I guess I *could* drive this on the street." For a target end-goal, I guess mid 900s to the wheels would be the aim long term. However, I don't see that happening in the near future. Also, as many others here can attest, the desire keeps burning after achieving goals.....
