IDK which engine anymore!!!!

Ok so for the longest time i wanted the SR20 like any newb to the 240. But then I realized that It just wouldnt satisfy my power needs without being way too lagy for a daily driver, so then i set my sights on the RB26DETT. I really wanted that so i could possibly break 600 whp. But something is starting to discourage me about it. Since it is a relitivlely small engine, the torque just isn't that much. I think If i'm at 600 whp, my wtq might be around 450-500. Is that gonna be enough?? Is that gonna give me the feeling of raw power at my feet? I have also been considering an LS swap, cause those motors are tq beasts right out of the box, and then in the future i would plan to twin turbo it, and that would just be a monster. IDK, I just want to make sure I do exactly what I want the first time, so I don't always wish I would have spent my money on that other engine. What do you think???

i know it sounds blasphemous but you could also look into a chevy engine. i read about it being done by others with great results.

i personal would want any of the rb engines or the 2jz. but for the right amount of time/money/modifications you can put any engine into any car to suit your needs.

on a side note a friend told me he once saw a car at a track with two engines. one for the front and one for the rear. just goes to show you that anything is possible.
