If possible adj. mounts for ladder,shorter ladder car.Under the described conditions ,an 850hp+ motor would be useless/hard to drive...your goal is max traction,near zero wheel spin and developing an extremely smooth driving style........but change the paramiters and I'd give a totally different answer
