I would LOVE to have 400hp out of my 460 Jet...  The beauty of your setup is that you ahve the same weight in the back end that I do... But your pushing 75 more HP.  Your going to like that A lot!

I have a 20' CVX 20 on a single axle trailer, so it's not uncommon.  All depends on the load rating of your tires.  My CVX-20 is rated at 2300lbs (aprox) dry so I figure that I'm running close to 3500 lbs wet on the trailer.
