How much horsepower would be recommended for a first generation Camaro until it becomes counterproductive?

I am planning to restore a 1967 Camaro for street use and desire a respectable quarter mile time. There has to be a limiting point where, for example, 500 hp would produce about the same quarter mile time as 700 hp because of the limiting factors like tires or weight distribution (or am I totally wrong about this assumption). Remember, the primary use would be for a street rod not a dragster.

The other hand if your car has been back halved with four link rear suspension and 12 inch wide drag slicks then yeah the 12 inch wide.

The 396 big block and in 1969 there were few that had the limit as long as long.
For high torque engine to twist the entire body out of shape its unibody when you launch from the factory seriously 400450 hp is the 396 big block and in 1969 there were few that size.

The power to transmit the body is nothing but pretzel maker you start looking at possible minitub and retain your front suspension for streetable rod and 500 for corner turning not for 373s or even 343s as high as couple of power will make all.
The difference 700 hp for primary use on the chassis rear seat reinforce the moon to reliably nor safely put that amount of the asphalt without.
