This is true, and I have plans for the turbo brick. My machinist friend Ken found a recipe for 500HP at the crank with the factory style carb-turbo setup. That involves a pretty serious build with a 4.1 Buick block and a modified turbo. Ken says that 400HP should be really easy without going overboard. All that will likely wait though. I've got bigger fish to fry at the moment. One of these days...the car isn't going anywhere so there's no hurry.

If you come to a meet you've got to bring the SVT! How did the uninstall go? Everything come out all right? That would break my heart to remove something like that.
