Sounds cool, what modifications do you have to achieve that figure?

Mine has the fuel pump wiring modification and a different regulator, Pro alloy intercooler, but is otherwise standard, at some point in the future i'd like to increase its power to M400 levels.

M400 is actually 370 bhp

Hi Matt, they fitted a helix clutch, uprated Bosch fuel pump, actuators, valve springs, pro alloy hard pipes and intercooler, a remap and I think that's it. Would have liked to swap the exhaust but running out of $$$ as it's booked in for interior change and bodywork. Going to sell my R6 to fund the next step, haven't been out on it since I got the Noble, had it from new and only covered 436 miles in 16 months.

Cheers
Gary

Sounds good, quite a big power increase with quite few modifications,

Good figures! Are the valve springs an expensive mod? I'm hoping for similar power with similar mods but unsure whether to do valve springs or not??

It is but they never actually made the power. Same with all the other models.

I'm not sure of the cost for the valve spring with the labour, when I get a breakdown I'll let you know. but I'm told they go hand in hand with the other mods.

Thanks

Yes I was told I had valve bounce at my factory 7,200rpm red line, so it was lowered to 6,800 with the recommendation I get valve springs as the next/first engine mod if I wanted more power, along with a big crazy intercooler to try to keep the car cool. But we all know these things.
