What exactly is this 3.2 DB7 engine upgrade?

[sparks_E39]

Recently been hearing a bit on here and from other sources that there is a professionally done modification in the region of £3-£4k to make an i6 DB7 more like a V12 Vantage performance wise, can anyone shed any light on this, and what the improvements actually are?

Ah.. you again!

I believe I was reading a classic mag - probably Octane - only 3-6 months ago and it mentioned this. I believe the increase was something like from 320 to 380bhp (I haven't bothered to look up the stock DB7 output but I believe it's around about these figures). I think they spoke to an engineer that worked on the original motor in the article and he knew all about the ins and outs of getting more power, it was quite interesting. Anyway could be worth finding out what magazine that was for the full low-down.
Hope that helps, sure someone who knows about it and even owns an Aston might tell you more accurately.
