SURREY ROLLING ROAD SAT 7TH APRIL

Sounds like it is going to be quite a special meet, I was at Gaydon last year in my 197 and enjoyed the v6 display.

the quest for better RR figures has cost several folk here a lot hard earned money.
The problem is its a N/A engine and whats the general rule 100bhp/litre or thereabouts. To get 240 will do me. If Spikes exhaust produces an 8bhp increase then the difference in the ph1/2 vees is the expected 25bhp. To have 80% of the 100bhp/litre rule is great considering that includes a durable long lasting reliable engine.

Also consider the L7X engine was in a Laguna. Upgraded for the ph1 then once again by porsche for the ph2. To go further well .......... one lesson learned is consider all money spent as non-recoverable before you start and .....well..... good luck!! :p

It was interesting to see people's reactions to the figures on the screens!! Generally not quite achieving the figures they expected.... nothing new there then!! Except for John's Mustang what a beast!! I have to say the only time my vee has been totally outgunned on the road was against a Lamborghini Murcielago and an F430 otherwise its plenty quick :)

Does anyone know of or owned any N/A cars and have achieved significant gains??????? If so how was it achieved?
