You can get that kind of power down with very careful modulation of the gas pedal Honestly, even with the stickiest DOT-legal tires out there (Nitto DRs, BFG DRs, MT DRs etc.), you will probably still smoke through at least the first two gears and not be able to use full throttle untill you put some real slicks on the car. And driving with real slicks on the street and getting caught in a rainstorm is no fun.

And before you spend a lot of money on "fully adjustable" stuff, ask yourself how many times you will be willing to adjust those items such as the front upper and lower LCAs (every time you adjust it significantly, you will need a new alignment); although adjustments would come in handy with the torque arm, the rear LCAs if you are planning on running large tires or something, and the panhard rod to recenter the rear if you need to. Maybe that is what you referred to with the adjustable items. Just my two cents, good luck.
