i dont realy think the r&d cost would be that high. not any highet than developing a turbo kit, and that has been done. i believe it is just a matter of someone taking the plunge and deciding to do it. i believe that mounting it on top of the engine is the best route. the hood is the real problem here. i am not an expert by any means though. keep in mind that the eliminator cougar was put together to look almost stock from the outside and to use a basicly stock engine set up. also they are running alot higher boost levels than has been applied to our cars yet so the internals have been upgraded to handle it. but i still think that with mild amounts of boost this could be done for about the same price as the turbo kit.
