yup its all good, its gonna be a 12 month project anyway, im no rush to get and engine and build it, its gonna be a properly built unit as it has to be reliable but deliver good power, and i dont think 200bhp is asking alot of a new duratec engine.
i have considered the supercharged option but its pointless really, for 250bhp supercharged engine the engine would have to make 200bhp to start with, then i would take about 50bhp to run the charger to add the extra 75 - 100bhp, very parasetic, n/a is the only way forward with front wheel drive.
the main idea behind the whole car is that has be useable and not just spin all its power away, so its finding that balance between power, torque and grip
