Is my willy as big as Brummmie's??
Discussion
Finally managed to get the car to Surrey Rolling Road for Charlie to give a verdict.
Got a thread running about the project here, but thought I'd share the numbers for those who dont look under TVR general gassing.

Boost pressure doesn't drop off so could go higher.....

k a duck 
thats big power for a light car.......infact thats big power for a heavy car.I was in the high 400s with my last car but that just blows things out the water,wont ask about your brakes......8 pots sir
Blimey didn't realise they were that close Paul!!!
Interesting to compare the torque curves, I've got a bit more area under the curve up till around 4000rpm then they're almost identical.
Glad someone's still got a copy of my article, can't believe that was 2010.
This'll probably be the last year I make a winter jobs list. Mk2 interior to go in, later instruments, toying with the idea of a Raceproved sunroof and maybe some mk2 Jag XKR bonnet vents but not convinced yet.
Got to finish the Porsche interior first though

Nice figures and looks very nice job indeed, have the LS2 6 litre in my VXR8 with a TVS 2300 SC these are SRR dyno a couple of months ago, not sure if link will work below.

Considering they are very different ways of doing it cubes vs boost.
I am going to strip mine over the winter, i have new rings (£75.00 the full set) and a new oil pump, just for security and a look over.
I struggle to get power down so how you do it with all that grunt down below i dont know?
I suspect mine may rev harder with the throttle bodies?
I rev mine to 7400 on the drag strip and this gives me 134mph in third.
Rich, I followed your build and enjoyed your Sprint article with interest and admiration. I've seen your car at a couple of events and seen it used in anger on the 1/4. It's a quick beast. I'm not clever enough to work out what a SC can do to a stock 350bhp engine but knew it had more grunt than mine, I was guessing at around 520bhp. I'm happy that you have finally put it to the test and as Paul said, two very differnt ways of getting the same power. Amazing.
I can only stand back and applaud the skills and results you guys produce, as I don't have those skills, the space or the facilities to do this, so I have to be a cheque book mechanic.
Question: How are your drive shafts? Paul has broken a couple which is probably down to using grippy rubber, so, if like me, you're using road tyres then your extra power is being spun away at the wheels. Even so, I wonder when will be the day when I do get unexpected grip and break my original drive shafts.
Edited to say: Just remembered you have put traction control on yours.

Rich we met down at Pool i was in the LS Griff, very impressive conversion and even more impressive figures 
The Griff is running around 485 and as much as i would love to drop a SC on it after several track days i have come to the conclusion any more power in the short wheel based griff would be a wasted!!
Love your Porky and look forward to seeing you again!

Not as much as you think,Can you use a spanner?
