There really are no limits to what is considered a DD and what is not. It's personal preference. You'll be the one driving it every day and if it's setup correctly and tuned correctly it will drive pretty damn good! I drove a H/C car for years and never had an issue.

Do you have the cam already? I have a similar set up with nice drive ability but through a stalled a4. IMO save your money and go with the ls6 intake over the fast of you're not desperate for every last hp. Most of it would only come at the top end anyway.
