" With a turbocharger or supercharger, it’s a different story. The induction system creates boost pressure to force more air into the engine. Turbocharging is one of the most effective ways to bolt on horsepower. You can bolt a turbo onto a relatively stock engine and produce as much power as you want by simple turning up the boost pressure. For every pound of boost pressure, a turbo can add up to 35 or more horsepower depending on engine displacement. "

this is true. So I will do the 280 and be optimistic. I also agree that if their budget set with all of your deposits, wasnt enough, they should have stated so. I think there were other financial factors involved here they didn't want to talk about. I still think you will get a completed project. Hopefully at least 280hp. As for being taken. I lost money on the skirt project. Didn't like it but it was a risk. I knew that and yes it still sucks. Good luck gentlemen. Check back in a few weeks.
