Upgrading power to tuscan s

[alz]

What kind of power upgrade modifications are available for the tuscan s? That is without replacing the engine! Not really looking to do anything just now, but with all cars you tend to always want that little bit more after a while. Saying that though, the only decent difference I ever noticed after upgrading a car was in my vxr220. Is this the case with the Tuscan?

How much more power do you want? There's a couple of supercharged Speed 6's rolling round but the conversion aint cheap.

To be honest, I'm not too sure at the moment. Supercharging seams to be quite a popular way to increase power. However in all the cars I have had nobody seams to be able to say how reliable it is or whether the large outlay is really worth it. I was thinking about upgraded exhaust, induction, re-mapping (although in the 4.0 not sure if this is a good idea!)that kind of thing.
Also, is it worth upgrading to a decent set of yokohamas or would wet weather handling be degraded to far?
As you can see, not really got an idea, just curious really.

One of the most effective upgrades you can do is to get a set of adjustable Nitron or Ohlin dampers and a full suspension geometry set-up. It will transform the car in every way for the better over the standard suspension set-up. Getting road legal slicks will dramatically increase grip levels but from what I've heard, aren't that great on the road. They can be scary in the wet and are quite prone to tramlining. Although others who actually have them fitted will be able to give you better advice.

If you already have a 4.0 S spec engine there isn't a great deal you can do to it without forced induction or nitro to get much more power out of them. A high-spec rebuild from the likes of TVR Craft is probably your best bet, but it remains to be seen if this brings significant power gains for the price.
