Si,
What power is yours making mate and how do you find it in a Classic as a road car??
I,ve had plenty of big BHP cars including my last Evo which was running Autronic, FP GREEN etc @ 470bhp/443 FT/LB But because that was quite a heavy car it almost didn,t feels it,s power if you understand me..
WHERE-AS my classic now with only 350/345 feels alot sharper, obvioulsy weight reasons and i guess just how raw the car is, i do wonder what a 400+ classic must be like, can,t wait to find out mind you... 42 yrs old and still a big kid..

It's proberly around the 380/380 mark but don't know for definate, was 367/367 when had it on the RR a couple years back but had it mapped since with Bob R and increased the boost.
Not reached it's potential, Love to put a MD321T on it but would then have to go down the PPG route etc
I'm More than happy with the current set-up as it is such a drivable car, the torque is fantastic and it is what the 2.5 is all about. I have the longer 5th and on the 2.0 the power would die from 4th to 5th, on the 2.5 soo much better
