Chimpafrolic said: 4) If the goal is over 250hp it's probably cheaper & more sensible to build a decent 4.6 lump than keep throwing money at a 4.0 litre Yes, Chimpster, or add a blower. The 3.5's with a blower were only marginally better than a 4.0l, but when you blow the 4.0 - phew. Better than a 4.6.

Watch out Wedgies, the twin port flugal horn went on today   Pure pre-cat Griffith sound effects and it feels like another 10hp. Throttle response is noticeably better too. Wedge Spanker is ready & hunting down his natural (cheese shaped) prey

We all know the lengths you chimp boys will go to... Look at this poor chap. He'd be much better selling the golf cart and buying a proper TVR, but at least he's trying...

Chimp - you should raise the same thread 'What Does Your 3.9 / 4.0 litre 'on the Chimp forum. Might be interesting to compare.
