Single Turbo Blow through Small Block Kits???

If it were me, I'd like to see a kit for the stock engine that would be basic bare bones, weekend install, ready to go kit. Then I would like to see another section that would provide upgrades that a "budget minded" mechanic/weekend enthusiest could buy and upgrade as time and money pemits.

I myself find it hard to spend loads of money all at once for 1 huge kit. (family and other priorities) It's easier to budget a certain amount of extra money every so often, to upgrade/build on the 1st basic kit, and buy more HP in steps.

A "how much HP" boost could be documented to known stock baseline engines for each part/kit/addition. But, with this said, not everyone would buy all the same additions in the same order, thats the reason I say extra HP over the basic bare bones kit.

Luckily for us we are dealing with decent sized v8 engines, Even a bone stock smog 318 would make 300 horse at 3 psi or so. The plumbing will be the heart of the system and everything else can be swapped. The key is to get these on cars so all of us can play,whether it takes your 185hp motor to 300 or your healthy 425hp motor to 600+ EVERYONE WINS . I think I will offer the kit in 3 different power levels ( fueling and supporting mods aside ) stage 1- stock to 450hp stage 2- 450hp - 600hp stage 3- 600 - 1000+ And the option for kit with no turbo and kit with custom turbo. This should easily cover everyone and you can trade up or down in a fairly painless manner.
