t34 with a .63 housing should be good for 400 I would have thought.

I personally will probably go for a gt28 when I'm ready to decide on my build.

Cheers
Dan

T34 will be fine for 400bhp and will be a great road spec cossie being not very laggy at all with plenty of midrange torque.

what exhaust housing have you got? a t34 will only make 400bhp with a .63 housing, the standard .48 or .55 wont make 400bhp

A T34 being run at 400bhp is working very hard and dont tend to last that long, most people who say they have 400bhp on a T34 dont its more like 385-400bhp. 400bhp is a shit number to aim for imo. Go for either 380-390bhp or 420bhp ish.

Not sure tbh mate, T38, T4, GT30[with correct exhaust housing] would all do over 400bhp easy enough, theres probably loads more options but i am no expert so couldnt tell you. Pick a tuner and tell them what you want and they should be able to give you an answer.

I am going for a T34 with big injectors this time running around 2bar, whatever it makes is what it makes. Chasing numbers is a bit daft imo.
