NASP?? with 'off the shelf' mods?? probably 200 - 220bhp.

Thing is........there is never a definitive answer........how deep are your pockets and how extreme do you want to go?

Again........if you wanted to tune the KV6 really hard you would rebuild the engine with modded internals......lighten them, balance them......you'd replace pistons and conrods as well I would imagine all with strengthened parts.....you may even overbore the engine a little I guess.

Cylinder heads you may port and polish, gasflow them, fit bigger valves, fit bigger camshafts which may make the idle lumpy but give bigger gains when above a certain rev range.....

all that combined with some of the off the shelf products or even throttle bodies and the socks over the trumpets.

The world is your oyster really.

Thats good going dude

Tell you what folks........I have heard of a stealth mod. But don't go shouting it out everywhere okay......

What you need to do........is buy a couple of site stickers

Be warned though.........I know the small ones are worth about a tenth of a second but the bigger ones give the best gains of around a half a second from 0 - 60. And don't stick them anywhere because you will upset the balance of the car and end up in someones hedge

Damn right........put them in the wrong place though and you are asking for trouble. Put mine on the front splitter.......should have put it on the sideskirts towards the front of the car. Gave me too much understeer that far up front

Other good point is you will be helping the site too, by buying some which we all appreciate!
