Hi guys. I purchased a cv8 big boot model end if last year. It's currently got 41k on it and the following mods:
K&n, modified mAf pipe
Remote bleed
Ls7 clutch, mishimoto alloy rad
Wortec cat back

I'm going to get a rip shifter and upgrade the brakes soon and get some suspension bits from pedders.

What do you guys think would be a good MOT friendly engine build for around 400whp that wouldn't break the bank?

I am thinking of breaking my car if it doesn't sell.And would have all the upgraded parts you would ever need

That sucks that there'll be another off the road but at least I could get some parts out of it!

AAS did my headers from a jig. I had a bit of an issue with them being for a small boot cv8 whereas mine was big boot like yours. Now, I believe, that can jig big boot too.
I still need to get my otr or smooth pipe then will talk to Carl / Luis.
