I am sure you could. I have seen 600+ horsepower monsters on air.

why not, but i have seen one turbo kit (i dont remeber who made it) but it had very low clearence underneath after the put the turbo on, so i probably wouldnt recommend it, go with a supercharger like the PE and the bags and you will be fine

ive seen a honduh with it, it was pushing like 270whp and it was on bags, you can do it, but it is more expensive and you need to get a guy that can do it properly

there is a guy here in austin that has had a couple of track cars on bags, both n/a and boosted, they do very well at the track, ive only seen video of the cars at the track, but ive seen the cars themselves and let me tell you, its not cheap.
