Mmmmm, I had 370bhp on a T4 with Greys.......with all the right ancillaries, standard cams and head. Not my favorite though, but that was just me, and a T4 which didn't seem as responsive as others that Karl has done. To get a genuine 400bhp on a standard engine you need to use alot of boost 2bar at least, so you really need a very good head gasket, and a strong low milage engine............In my opinion.

370BHP Ish would be more likely, and that's enough for most.

Mines been fine, but mine isn`t 400, its 370 Karl as done a fantastic job, as Jim says 370-380 is more than enough.... get yourself to a good mapper, get it setup, and you want believe how good 370 feels when its done properly
