Default should i sell or go for more power?

right,

should i go for more power, or sell the rs500, its a hard one as i had had it for quite a while and allready spent loads on it, even advertised it on the rs owners club forum, but dont know if i could let it go.

i did 30 miles in it last year, which is just a waist,

whots a basic spec for say 650/700 bhp, could this be done on 2 litres,

am i looking at a gt40 turbo? remote waistagte, bigger injectores maybe T6 pectal or another ecu,

any tuners who would be up for the job?


answers on a post card please

Quote from the Reyland website:
"Reyland Motorsport can build/rebuild Cosworth YB engines to ANY specification - standard, mild, and wild! - and would be happy to quote each person for their specific requirements. E.g. 605hp engine can be produced for less than most other tuners charge for a 520hp t4 8 inj unit.
£P.O.A"
