I think too many people focus on horsepower and don't focus on the rest of the suspension and components that will make the 200 horsepower work.
Build the whole car to support 200 horsepower or whatever power you want, don't just throw a 2 or 300 hp engine in a 145 horsepower chassis and then expect to have a car that hookups when you dump the clutch.

When I built my chassis I built it to take the power of a small V8 if I should ever wish to install one later.
As time goes on though I find the 200 or so I have is just the right amount for what I use the car for, it works for me, but doesn't mean it works for anyone else.

Like Bob mentioned, build the car the way you want and enjoy it, the power is irrelevant, having a good time is relevant.
