To turbo our engine, it will costaround 8k, closer to 10k by the time its all set up and the chassis has been played with a little, but we are thinking of building up a new chassis, which will be stronger and can take the power, plus we will get the same company that is going to set our car up, to design the suspension arms along with shocks & springs etc.

Thats the next project,but we are hoping to have that started and finsihed on the track by 2012 (I no its a long time but a bucket load of cash needed) at the latest.

I also got told that anything more than around the 500bhp at rear wheels, may course problems in traction, but thats jsut one area that needs to be looked at.
