While it is easy to build a 292 to make 300-350 HP with or without a turbo, the hard part is finding a money tree to supply the cash to do it. The trade-off of using a turbo is the same HP goal at a lower RPM, but still, quality parts and machine work are going to be required to make it live and protect your investment. There is a classic example of someone building a 250 with a turbo over in the Blown and Injected section and not prioritizing the importance of parts selection and melting his pistons in just a few short weeks of street driving. He is now buying another set of "wrong" pistons and in another few short weeks will have some more melted pistons. Building one of these engines for high output is not cheap, but the rewards are multiplied if you do it the correct way.
