Twins just seemed like the go-to on a V8. Single is certainly an option as well, I'm just window shopping at this point.

As for HP goals..whatever the motor will take. I've seen references to 700HP at the wheels which would certainly be nice.

Found a side-by-side of an HX40 with the 617 turbo, definitely too small. It's really hard to judge the size of these things from pictures :/ On a side note, the diesel guys have made serious progress since I got the 560, makes me really want to rebuild the 300SD's motor.
