Is it possible to have a reliable 4-500HP Street car

So just for discussion, what would make a 500hp engine less dependable than a stock mill?

Without upgrades, I would think, harder starting because of a wilder cam, overheating if you don't bump up your cooling system.

Anything else?
not real sure myself. OEM setups have trouble with ballast resistor, hot starts. Put a mini starter on any of them and it gets a lot better. Elec fuel pump and mini starter allowed my .590 cammed 440 in my Coronet to crack right off every time, very reliable and consistent. It did have 4 corner idle at the end which helped some.
 
Yea I carry a spare ballast and regulator when I drive out of town. Never left me stranded yet. She always has been thirsty though.
 
Damn that engine is beautiful. Video soon please!

Probably Saturday if I don't run in to any others problems. I still have a bunch of electrical work to finish and the Sanden A/C system to work on. Hose fabrication too.
