I think that figure is a little low, unless we're talking supercharger (but then really you don't *need* to build the engine with something like JRSC). I know CSG Mike recently quoted nearly that figure just for the turbo and all the cooling. If we're talking built internals it can get pretty expensive.


OP: I've resolved to stay N/A until I'm sure what I want to do with this car. When you look into competition classes, F/I can really restrict that and if I do eventually end up going racing F/I will be much more expensive (and likely break a lot more). There is always NASA TT4 which seems a good fit for a supercharger or relatively lower boost levels, but again I worry about the extra costs at that point.
