yup, it's the v8. got my air leaks sorted and it's running as it should, getting the bottom supercharge pulley changed next week, waiting for peco to give me a shout so it can go in for an exhaust, hopefully manifolds as well and then have a bit more of a play with it and get it up to around the 500bhp mark

Hate to lash over your bonfire bud but I think 500bhp is abit adventures given that this only produces 420bhp. Lovely motor though bud http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-56-J...t=Automobiles_UK&hash=item45fc4e0b5b

in theory 500 isn't too hard to achieve. think for the late 4.0 they quote 390 as standard. main figure i'm interested in though is the torque, although standard is quoted as 390 lb/ft, looking to get this up to around the 500 mark as well. bigger bottom super charger pulley, smaller top supercharger pulley, decent exhaust, free flow cats, cooler stat, bit of work on the charger and sort the charge cooling out should see it to near as damn it 500. am just waiting to get it looked at t see about getting some tubular exhaust manifolds made. could always just bite the bullet and get a twin screw for it

If your after a garage, ours shall be up for rent in 5 weeks as we are moving into my bosses lockup as it's bigger.
