Taken from my reply in main message area

I've got one of the tuned SCC tuned FRS and mine is currently running 386bhp on a SCC spec gt28 turbo setup and custom Mike Gurney autronic sm4 ecu setup / map

However this power is right on the limit for the standard engines pistons rods, etc - to push past 400 safely you will need very good quality uprated pistons, rods as well as headwork, improved inlet manifold, etc - i would suggest Ian Howell for any headwork or custom inlet manifold - the bottom end however shouldnt require any work though - ideally cams should be uprated as part of the original batch of mods

Deffo a good engine and well capable of good power Alongside any custom mapping/management you have just make sure there is a quality fuel pump setup on there so the cars not running lean, as that was my first problem when pushing past 350 originally

The head on mine is still standard from factory although Ian Howell will be working his magic when i go for more power this year.

Rob @ SCC fitted 750cc injectors on mine to cope with the power - apparantly good for over 400 too
