good luck with the rebuild


your engine looked superb as was so cant wait to see how it turns out
Well, we never RR'd it after fitting the GT Series Turbo. But, the 803's were running flat out, which on a well mapped engine is 300+bhp. So, I would guess somewhere between 280-300.

I hope to get comfortably into the 300's with the new engine, but to be honest, Im into the car for how well it drives. It is a lovely set-up and I hope to maintain that. I also wouldn't mind pushing the Top Speed boundary a little further.

As for traction. I am not really planning to change anything in that respect at the moment. The gearbox is close to expiring and when it does I might, depending on funds, add a Quaife Diff.

You should do, they aren't that much different to yours!!

The make is the same, the spec is slightly different.

I have some pics of the car from the Performance Ford feature that I will resize and add to this thread later.
