All good comments, and all true. I'd just add that unless you are racing, I really don't see much point in using one for street driving.
Aside from the possible hood clearance issues, a few horsepower isn't going to matter much in a driver.
When I was racing sand drags years ago, we ran weight to cubic inches. Everything you could do to get 2 or 3 extra hp would help. There, it was a good thing.....gave me about 12 more. For street use, I wouldn't bother.
