i dont think his numbers are really that high. he says he has a cam and tb upgrade. a guy posted about 2 weeks ago on corral that his stock motor with just cobra intake and larger tb made 505rwhp with 15psi of boost using the on3 kit.

id be willing to bet that the guy at on3 does all his testing with no filter on the turbo. at 15psi, just taking the filter off will gain you 30rwhp

Impressive. If only a supercharger could do that to a stockish motor. Turbo is the way to go....wait, did I just say that :S

the supporting mods for the turbo kit will add up quick. factor in $100 for a fuel pump, $500ish for injectors and maf (assuming you buy used), $$$$? for arp head studs and new head gaskets, $500-$600 for a dyno tune.

so in the end your looking at about $3500 or so for the turbo kit..............but a lot more power :-)
