Its at roughly 625bhp now, i am taking the heads of when they salt the roads, to service them, renewing valve guides and springs.
I will at least port match the throttle bodies while there...
However, i have a man in the States reckons another 60bhp plus is available, by "hogging" the heads out and going up a valve size......
Its pretty nippy already though scratchchin

How is the chassis fairing with the power? No cracks etc?

Not that I can see, I gave all the front suspension a good rubdown when swapping to track rubber, and going up a few clicks on the shocks, nothing nasty leapt out, and my regular drive shaft snapping escapades I would have spotted something at the rear.
Diff seal is leaking a bit, but other than that......

I'd say that was plenty enough..............the mind boggles at what it must be like, I have a paltry 450 and rarely, if ever, use all of it.

why are you even asking? there's 60 bhp for not a great deal of money & you KNOW your going to do it, you won't be able to sleep (that's if the presents the stork is about to deliver let you get some) knowing there's more power to be had....

Paul, 625 that's a very impressive power output. Your power to weight trumps a lot of very expensive supercar material and is creeping up on the monster Speed 12. Does it have enough power yet? You're already looking into the next upgrade. You are a sick man. Don't get well soon. biggrin

Paul was kind enough to take me out in his cerbera at Silverstone yesterday.

Words can not describe how fast that car is and there was still alot more in it, nothing could keep up even the R35 GTR's were struggling.

It was fun going sideways, the only problem is that im now getting tempted to sell my monaro to fund a LS powered cerbera but we will see

A little way to go. The 'red' speed 12 is currently detuned to 840BHP. I'm not sure how much it weighs though.. at least I haven't checked yet.
