325 to 350 at the rear wheels will do fine.

Re: How much horsepower do you really need?

Hey bro,, My answer that comes to mind today is one an old drag rager once said-- "Too much is just enough" ...

BTW your link didn't work until I fixed it. Good find, and TNX.
Take care

Re: How much horsepower do you really need?

The cow is really an escapee from the "mad cow" farm. He's trying to disguise himself as a truck.
