Default big engine debate

my haynes has a mildly tuned alfa v6 3.0,so i feel able to coment,there is ample power so much that the low gears wheelspin makes it difficult to use,at santa pod my best quarter i set of in third to avoid wheelspin,it has been properly cornerweighted and has good even weight distribution total weight 690 kg,i think it has a bit to much power .i thought i needed 200 bhp (too much)and this was much cheaper than trying to tune /install duratec,if i was building another i would go for a zetec with suitable mods about 165 bhp,or even bike power.It still sounds nice with pipes each side,one more point these are made for ourselves and any choice is good if thats what you want...
