Well 200 HP is not out of the ballpark.I would say 200 is a can do.I would first start looking for a 83-88 turbo coupe thunderbird.You would need to turbocharge and run a good aftercooler.I plan on running a modest 10 psi boost pressure and expect 150 HP.To this point i have about $400-500 bucks into it,but i ran with a carb instead.
