5.0 litre another question

[dixiebabes]

Is 5 litres the limit for the rover V8 or can it be taken further? I might be mistaken but im sure i remember a bright yellow 5.6 on sale one time.

Wildcat do a 6.0

Alex and I have a friend who has just bought a 5.5 V8Developments car, and they do a 5.4 as well. But that's about the limit available for TVRs. The 5.5 puts out about 370 bhp IIRC

5.5 RV8 with Chevy crank, forged rods and pistons.

Ask Rob, V8D for full details.

[carob]

There you go Jeff, 5.5ltr. Get in nailed in there....

V8D did a 5.3 for one of the lads down here in his Griff, now that was a monster, then after a complete body off rebuild he sold it to get married!

Never mind - when he's been married a while he will get another TVR and lose his virginity again

Nice one Jeff, you know you need one to keep up with the rest of us,only joking bud i know you can hold your own ground.
I can see you and Hamish thrashing it out in your 5ltr's [beating him of course]with Carob right behind you ticking over.
Just remember Jeff if you have a race with Hamish up on these Scottish roads next year you'll get lost he's not called " pathfinder for nothing".

At the flywheel - and I do believe he has a printout, also showing over 400 torques. He has already commented on here, so will probably bring his printout to the party.....

I'll be going to Surrey Rolling Road this week.

I want to check the fuelling and the new map.

I'll post up the results when done.

I know why Dix wants 5liters and its got nothing to do with the lack of stature its so he can keep up with me better on Dukes Pass plus a set of Taz pipes to finnish it off but im sure ill keep you well vibrated when you follow me bud
