Stue 3 doors down

I drove a V8 Landcruiser dual cab with extended chassis yesterday (unexpected so no pics).
Well not just a V8 but a super charged V8 :arms:and even with a ton of steel on the rear it was way faster than my Disco. It was soooo good my wife banned me from talking about it by 9pm last night.:banban:
As a work horse or touring thing it would be cool:cool: as torque was huge and it wanted to wheel spin the rears when taking off:burnrubber: ( front diff has manual hubs). Far out I am like Fat Kev (God rest his soul), "Im excited".
Now I wonder how much torque I could get out of Stue if I super charged it (not likely mostly dreaming). The power of the Landcruiser was smooth and consistent although I didnt push it past 3000rpm as there was no need because I was leaving everyone at the lights with out trying:tease:. :eek2::woot:
It had the same sort of smoothness as the Ford GT (not falcon GT but new GT) although the GT had 550hp and costs $500k new, wow did that handle, stop and GOOOOO well.:woot:You can become a man possesed with that sort of power:firedevil:.
I wonder how long from when Fiona get home until I am banned again:banban:from talking about the power.
NO amout of flowers will account for blowing $500k on a two seater or even $100k on a ute:(.
How much would it cost to build a super charged engine say a 3.9 or 3.5?
Cheers
