I am sorry, Jim, but you are technically incorrect. The chassis will
indeed "take" 325 hp. Now the brakes, wheels, tires, transmission,
axles, drive shaft, u-joints are a whole other kettle of fish. Of
course, if the weight of the source of the 325 hp is over 200 lbs., then
the suspension components are in trouble as well, and maybe the
cross-members. If, however, you intend to change direction from a
straight line, another set of restrictions apply.
