Idk, he's close to 500 already and that head porting is sexy as hell!

Or are you laughing about not being able to improve a V10?

Tom
How is a faster V10 be boring when you get left behind in your slow V8?. Besides, there's always a TT option for the V10 ( now that's not boring ) :bigblink:

Regardless, the head work is great but it's never going to be a V10 or can match it.
Too much power is barely enough.

Or huge single turbo like MRC did with their one :D That seemed pretty effective.

No dyno. Post your wet weight and quarter mile. All other power claims will laughed off and dismissed as speculative.

Where is Saki? Has he done an uber tight summersault and disappeared up his own bung hole?

Dunno, I just dusted off the ouija board and channelled some Saki love, thought it appropriate for this thread.
Seriously though, this guy is just adding power mod gains together straight off a parts catalogue OR he grew up playing Gran Turismo on PS1 and now he's taking it waaaay too seriously. Innit.
He'd better to calm down before the floorplan on his car shakes all of its rivits loose and bounces down the road, a la Fast n Furious et al.

Hi

The inlet ports get dirty again and have the rough surface then the necessary is ( Koke ) :bigblink:

I just have issues that 98/litre at 8250 rpm can be turned into 120+/litre with some head porting and exhaust.
For reference, one of (if not the) best n/a engine in the Ferrari 458 (a purpose built from the ground up designed supercar engine) is 126 ps/litre at 9krpm.
I'd want to see some independent testing before being convinced

@ Bam_Bam

I have never driven 1/4 Mile

The weight of 1412Kg is current and with 1/4 fuel tank without front passenger seat 1360Kg



@adsgreen
From 481 PS on 500 PS it is only another 19 PS and that must with the head processing,
as well as the thinner intake valves, be to be created. ( 120PS/L )

If you don't quarter mile then you'll have no creditability, your dyno figures will be called fake. Just ask Saki...

Again, you're just adding up power mods. Quarter mile it, that will shut most of the naysayers up. It's good looking car but I think you're very disillusioned in how much power it makes.
