It would vary engine to engine, and state of tune, a tuned 400 could go past a stock 500

Mine is only running 260BHP and feels very quick. What on earth have you done to yours to make it produce 350BHP...... Naturally Aspirated I take it yikes

In Pasco's case... it has more to do with Power to weight ratio.hehe
Even with 350Bhp his car still felt slow with him in ithehehehe

He'd need about 650 Bhp in his car, to match 260 Bhp in yoursroflrofl
rofl you and Clive are so mean to poor Pasco!

Dont think so,, depends how large the bottle and how much you use it, How long it last,,,If you have it on a throttle switch it only works when you need it on full throttle or were ever you set the switch,
Value for money, You only pay when you use it,, ,

Listing what tvr did to there engines would be a nights work, they all cam in different options and wonderfull aray of different parts, you would need to be spercific on the engine you want imformation on?
Your mate is kinda of right ref the 4.3, the 3.9 and 4.3 ran the same block and con rods, so you would need to find a 4.3 crank and a set of 4.2 pistons, the pistons are easy to find the crank good luck!!,
The 4.6 is damn good option for a power upgrade, for every 100cc you increase by you are going to gain an average of 10ftib of torque, so you are instantly up 60 ftlb on a 4.0 engine, there is a mass of head/cams/induction upgrades for you to choose from, the 450 as fitted in the chims came in 2 options, one a basically standard range rover unit but fitted with a tvr spec cam and double valve springs, a healthy one of these would make around 210-220bhp, the other option was the hc, these came with a slightly more aggresive cam and big valves where fitted, again a healthy one of these made around 230-240bhp.
There is absolutely shed loads of upgrades and tuning companies out there for you to choose from, from nitrous and superchargers capacity increases the worlds your oyster, like i say to all my customers work out your maximum budget you are willing to spend, then knock £500 off of that for things you have forgot you may need, and then go forum hunting/phone calls for your best options!
