How about 725 bhp at just 1 bar boost.
Turn up the boost when you need 1,000 bhp.
Oh, and it does not weigh much either.

Not for me, but interesting to see what can be achieved.

I think “LS swap it” is the standard mantra on some less reputable auto forums down in the sump of the internet. There was a thread somewhere on the Driftworks series of vids documenting the work done by Craig from DynoTorque in Birmingham who swapped an LT4 and gearbox from a Corvette into a Vantage, then made a few upgrades to give a 700 bhp road rocket he was using as a daily. The quality of the work was first-rate; not a bodge in sight.

First in the series here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp_WPSE740Y

You’ll have to find the rest yourself if you’re interested. The only downside to sitting down with a cuppa and watching the updates is the total dick who is making the videos - even the guy doing the conversion work seems to only just tolerate him. The conversion work is almost up there with that from the Bad Obsession lads.
