. There are always exceptions but there are enough cars out there that make 480 to 500 at the crank in stock form. So NO I don't but that should be a non issue with the proper tune

It's probably more like 550 at the crank with an auto trans. Which, IMO is really pushing the limits of the stock rods... it only takes one weak rod to mess up your whole day.

Anyone adding any sort of power adder (be it turbo, supercharger or N2O), must understand that there are no gaurantees, and they better be prepared to pay to play.

my point was you don't need a $5000 short block just to add our turbo kit

I don’t want to sound greedy or like an *** but if someone is putting this kit on their car and then doing a couple mustang magazine tests for your company. You should really eat the full price of the kit and install with all the press and sales the magazine articles will bring in. You’re basically asking someone to pay you to advertise your product..
