Power increases

[Mr Fix it]

I know about the RR conversion for the 4.5 Cerb to up the power to around 440 bhp. Is there anything for the 4.2 or S6? Can you do the RR on these too? Afterall, the S6 is like a Tuscan engine and that can be RR-ed. I have noticed that the S6 engine in the Cerb has different power and torque to the Tuscan and Tamora, so maybe sort of done already?

Mike, was that 343 bhp at the wheels or on the flywheel or some other engine part? If it was at the wheels, considering transmision losses thats good.

Looks like the verdict is that the S6 engine delivers what is says, has anyone rolling roaded a S6 Cerb? The 4.2 and S6 have similar power and torque quoted by TVR, but when tested the 4.2 is down on quoted values and the S6 may be at quoted = more than 4.2.

Sounds confusing. Yet to drive them so should really shut up about figures until I have been behind the wheel. What I was getting at was this...thinking of getting a Cerb, S6 and 4.2 more easily available and seem to have similar power, but 4.2 quicker (wonder why this was). Also S6 is easier on the ride, but by all acounts the ride is much improved by aftermarket shocks. So if such shocks are added to a S6, would this give better overall car than 4.2? Just trying to convince myself that there may be reasons to also look at a S6 if can find one without an engine that is likely to blow up every 2000 miles.......
