Seems abit ott to me that Danny, i ran over 440bhp on a 205 block and the car ran over 400 for about 2 yrs before that, if going for 500 then i,d think about a 200block...GT30 aswell seems a waste of a turbo for just 400bhp..
I know where you,re coming from about do it once do it properly bla bla BUT there,s many 400bhp cars outhere that have been running alongtime with a 205block and a T34.63..
400 is always a strange number imo, i think a nice 370-380 makes a superb road car anyway..
Just my 2 penneth...
