I would want at least a genuine 320 - 350bhp, to get it anywhere near the performance of the Saph, which would require a turbo/supercharge. It is a very good possibility though if I see the right car. Not many tuning companies have gone to this extreme though, but I know that the engine is capable of handling this power, it's just finding someone with the technical knowledge to do the conversion.

you already know somebody

Karl has great knowledge of engines....and how they can and can't perform! it may take some time mind, but i wouldn't go anywhere else for conversion work if it were me

The saff is soooo spoilt! Jim spends a fortune sorting the engine and drivetrain, i spent over a grand on handling mods, Staffi spent probably £3k or more on management and bits and pieces, Max well over a grand on wheels and brakes.....It's a lucky car

I don't want to see it though!! i might want it back
