In most instances, head work and hot cams are great for NA engines. A nice intake manifold is great too. However, some of these mods that are great for a NA engine, are negated when forced induction is applied.

-With hot cams, you can lose a lot of the boost the turbo worked so hard to produce.

-High flow intake won't help a whole lot with air being forced in it anyway.

If you want to build an engine for turbo, do everything with the turbo in mind. Trying to get a huge amount of power out of an engine built for a turbo, but NA, isn't going to be very impressive.

Another point I would like to hit home, is the kit we are producing will be made to work on STOCK engines with stock compression, and internals. This is the same thinking Vortech had with their supercharger kit. If the turbo kit only puts out around 250-270 on a stock Duratec safely, then sobeit. However, initial estimates point a little higher.

If someone wants to use this kit to make a monster engine, I am sure it will be able to be modified to put out some much higher boost (CFM/PSI).

This kit will be made for average Joe that has a few grand to spend on a performance upgrade. This would not include an engine teardown. It will be offered in the same spirit of the Vortech kit, just different parts and results.
