What I know for sure is that this car is super fun. Exactly what I need in life right now.

I think most of us who have stayed in the hobby know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I call my car the "30 minute vacation".

I wonder….. do I need 180hp? I’ve got a huge grin with what I have…. Is more better….?

You're asking the right questions. "How much is enough?" is something only you can answer.

But it's my contention that you didn't make a mistake in buying a second engine, because having a spare means not missing an entire season when "Engine 1" decides to give up the ghost. And make no mistake, with the state of parts availability now, you will lose an entire season (or more) getting an engine or transaxle rebuilt.
