dbv8 said: If you had 700 and say me, Barrie and Alex had 750, would you still be happy with your lot? I just want 700bhp that should def do a 10. summat even with my pants driving and 700 is very easy if you pick the right engine to start with :-) Come on Nigel...get that graph up man!

MyRedMog ADJ said: i read that forced inducton costs £40/horse and that normal asprated cost £100/horse when youre adding big power. Sounds a lot So Barrie's 70 bhp is worth at least £2800 minus the initial outlay of 500 leaves 2300 which will buy 38 bottle refills. Thats 38 full days RWYB. 6 days a year for 6 years isnt bad is it?

MyRedMog ADJ said: ah, see what you mean, didn't figure gas in my scheme of things. Is it a good idea to put 100 shot through unmodified/older engine ? Yes  But dont quote me on that. As long as the engine doesnt have an inherent weakness already then a 100 shot should be fine. A 60 shot provides a suprising performance boost on the RV8. Barrie will prove this at the pod on 20th.

Sounds a lot May i ask were you read this as i would like to read the article? sounds really interesting as thats precisely what i've been trying to find out! I suppose it very much depends on how and where you want to use that power? If your into the strip i suppose big turbos & Gas are going to give you better results, if your more into track you might prefer normally aspirated for a smother delivery mid corner. Anything over 300 in most TVR's is enough to put a silly  on most peoples faces, so all us guys chasing crazy numbers are obviously just greedy and  Funny thing the more i've learnt the more my interest has turned to Torque figures!

 Can you stop talking £notes. My missus believes it cost considerably less than quoted. No pressure on the 20th then. Derek can I have a 100 shot please can I huh can I.

Sorry 'uncle Bazzer' I didnt know your missus was on PH  Dont worry about the 20th, you can borrow my long list of excuses. Its taken 3 years to compile such a comprehensive list so be careful with it. And on the last point.... NO. You were only supposed to get 60 in the first place. The number 1 rule when it comes to nitrous is dont get greedy. Besides i dont want you getting too close to me on the day do I?

You can bet he's sitting in an armchair, twiddling his thumbs thinking, "it's nearly time to put those suckers out of their misery"  .

MyRedMog ADJ said: i think the £40/horse figure is on a the supercharger kit company website - SC Power, think that's where I saw it So not an Independants evaluation then! Glad to see i'm not the only one waiting!!! Shall we start a sweepstake for who can guess to the nearest hp?? £1 per person, although there most probably some f----- law against that and i'll end up banned from here as well as General gassing. Is everyone aware that Jammy has been given a complete ban for doing nothing more than voice an Opinion! & i'm not talking nameing & shameing. Always think its sad when a valuable contributor to ph is lost. And thats just my opinion!

Anyway i'll make a stab it the figure I'm guessing 10% more than mine, 440 bhp at the wheels unless its on Power's r/r then 480 bhp at the wheels
