Well folks it seems TVRCraft have had some amount of battering of late on this forum and it has mostly been a one sided story so I thought I would post up some independantly substanciated facts about what they can deliver. The owner of this car does not frequent PH (I can probably understand why that is), however:

A stock fully rebuilt AJP8 with no fancy induction mods, only a stage 2 reworking of the head ports and a remap. On an independants dyno the results were very impressive indeed:

Max Power 400.8 BHP
Max torque 388 lbs/ft

One can only read into this that there is something of a pattern building here, it seems that the Craft engines are consistent in what they deliver. Seems they do have satisfied customers after all.... Me ? yep I am one of them and I can't wait to see what the 5.5 Supercharged AJP8 puts out.

Ok I'll bite. Do you have a graph from the dyno and which dyno was it? You uttered the magic words "independently substantiated facts" and it's tradition at this point that we have a barn storming heated debate about it now. hehehehehehe

Anyone got a popcorn smiley?

Steve.

In fact, cancel that question.

Looking at your blog, is the answer £34,000 and 16 months or am I reading it wrong ?

I'd expect to get a new car built to my own design for that.

Is it the 4.2 that was rebuilt to 4.5 spec?
