If you read the article their 4.0Ltr was producing 338BHP & 427lb ft torque. And given we now have 375BHP and 400lb torque and getting to 400 would not be hard - but I prefer rock solid reliability over negligble increases, and the FACT is that I have run a shed load of track days without a single problem and every single track day I see a Turbo TVR car at it blow ups / overheats / cracked manifolds / etc.
Is your engine going to let go not being cross bolted . Is it a weak spot ? Would a nice cross bolted 4.6 serp been a better option ..

You will be kicking ass in your Dads Cerb LS race engine .. now that`s going to move .

As Richard said earlier, "we're all mates" so let's lighter up!

The fact that we're all striving, fiddling and generally arsing about enjoying ourselves sets us apart from others so let's just relax, (or shut the f*ck up as I tell my children).

Why oh why I missed the opportunity to be a diplomat I really don't know.
I just want a carbon triple plenum and a 308 diff , forgot to mention a "new carpet"cool

Aawww guys, got me blushing,,, [keep it coming, keep it coming] laugh
'bling chim' indeed hehe I'd be more than happy to take anyone out in her at some point, as for the 14th? it's looking doubtful as work at last has picked up and September is full and means I will be working weekends! Can't complain after two months of nothing. But I wont rule it out completely and if I can I'll be there but work has to come first.
PS; Derek, my 'unbreakable' driveshafts are on their way back, YHM.
Mac we can set you up a polishing bay at Pod if you want laugh
