speak to Manu and Ajay at Scuderia - Gruppe M do a Carbon Fibre air box with titanium heatshield which literally rams the air into the engine at far lower temperatures giving more power and a lot more mid range torque...the old air boxes sit right on top of the exhaust - so how cold is that air I ask you.... there are other things too speak to them.....might i also suggest if you are upping power to consider improving your brakes too.....amazing how many people forget to do that.....makes a big difference too... spk to www.scuderiasystems.com - they are the daddies on this stuff
well a mix of advice, some funny, some informative (thanks)some crap, spend the money on learning how to drive it (wat an earth make that person think i dont know how to drive it great advice!! anyway back to the real people the upgrade are as follows. 1)kevlar seats, 2)kevlar bumpers 3)magnesium wheels, all good weight reducing items, 4)new racing ecu 6)open air induction match to the new ecu (40-50)bhp approx increse and before all of you start shouting this has come from 3 very well know ferrari racing teams!!

mmmmm well as someone who is involved with one of the largest dyno facilities working on all sorts of engines with several 355 engines its interesting you are getting 50bhp extra well done and with no internal changes at all otehr than an ecu and airbox- blow why didnt Ferrari think of that one . Anyway, back to the real people! What would be very interesting is to post your exact changes on ferrari chat.com on the technical forum there are some ferrari experts who tune and run challenge teams with years of expereince and they will im sure be delighted to inform anyone of the facts its a very informative site

well mate! it was 2 challenge teams that gave me that advise mabey they said a bit more mate but as iam not up on all the tech stuff did not include in my post! i think when people ask for advise who are not up on all the tech stuff a person like yourself who obviously has experiance would have been a bit more helpfull instead of patronizing comments like "learn out to drve it, post your gains on ferrari chat.com, etc" mabey you should have said yes mate come down to our place we would be happy to dyno the car for you, and i would have spent some money with you but there you go. all i wanted was a bit of advise mate!!!
oh dear!!
it was just meant as a bit of fun!! sorry ive upset you!
But you did ask a question which no one seems to have answered which is why I suggested ferrarichat because they really do know and can give you the advise you want!! Ive been throught performance improvements on a few f cars and just been very dissapointed hence my somewhat sarcastic approach!! apologies 4 times over!

yer got that upset i was nearly crying!!(ha ha) serously just looking for good tips on how to tune the motor , in ref to the air induction kit it was quite a lot more than that he said something about removing the plemmens and uesing the new ecu to remapp every 1000rpm giving more fuel and air to the engine something like that not quite sure but his mate has done a conversion and on a challange race car and said he gained about 40 to 50 bhp i am sure it was a lot more to it than that but when i get it done i will def post the dyno info, i think first we will try and get the weight down..

Ok, look at this link, 3 of the respondants are seasoned challenge guys, you will see that there is no way without internal engine changes you will even get 15hp extra
