Hs anyone tuned theirs yet or have any experience of what is available? I've heard a rumour of a 2.4 ltr engine ?

I figure that I should be able to get 450 lag free Hp . Thoughts?

That's alot of HP what about the Gearbox or would you have to use SR8 box to cope with power?

What about asking the manufacturer?

Have asked Radical, nothing yet.

The SL runs the same quaife gearbox as the v8 so should be strong enough

Don't forget about torque Jack - that's what tends to make the difference between can/can't cope and presumably the Ecoboost has considerably more of that than the 8?

Edited to add; via Ford's Data something like 270ftlbs (366 Nm) at 1750-4500 rpm (at crank?) before applying the 'Sport Button'?; whereas the 2.7 RX is more like 220ftlbs at about 7.5K according to RPE's Dyno PDF albeit at the wheels.
