not much for HP myself, I'm a torque guy, but for good all-around, I would say 300-400 would be a nice mixture, as long as you're getting comparable torque numbers.

It's all relative to the weight of your vehicle, the gearing, and the terrain. Torque is better for most types of terrain other than fine sand dunes and mud.

I would take 100:1 gearing and 200 hp over 43:1 and 500 HP going up a hill anyday .

Anything over 350 and your asking for a breaking. 4.56's rule.
