I saw that the other night too.

According to the ad...
"485 horsepower at 25+ PSI with supporting modifications and a built motor"

What!??

There must be a special hi-po crankshaft/connecting rod/piston combination for the A series 
that I am unaware of that can take this kind of abuse.  Whatever it is it must cost many times
more than this turbo kit.  And we aren't even talking about getting it to the pavement yet.

No thanks..I'd rather throw in an blown aluminum V-8 before I jump into cutting edge
F1 engine design.

But it does bring up and interesting question.  What is the max power someone has managed
to squeeze out of the A-series?
