might do, but need quite a lot of ££££ to achieve this

Quite agree it gotta be done. I have driven the Holden 5.7L V8, what an addiction with the noise.

You'll be the only one to achieve that sort of power with those mods if you do i think. Last time i got the car RR'd when my car was re-mapped i saw 210bhp @ the fly. That is with the following mods.

Inner wing induction mod
Re-map
Scorpion SS zorst
De-cat
Piper 270 cams

Soooooooooo, not sure you'll achieve 220 but you never know.

DaveZs-x IIRC On here before he removed his engine for a VAG lump has pretty much the same mods as above and i think his was about 205bhp but it weighed about as much as a size Zero Model so it was a real sleeper

Not meaning to be an asshole but it wasnt one of those cheapo superchip places that tell you "ooo i can get you an extra 30bhp of this chip" who said ity would get you to 220BHP if they can im sure theyll have flocks of 180 drivers queing at the door

the KV6 is tunable but its very expensive especially to get 220BHP i think the only realistic way to achieve that bhp figure would be to Supercharge it and as we all kno theyre not the most reliable pieces of kit

superchips quoted me 12bhp max proven 10 bhp min

Sounds about right dude. Had mine done at Chipped UK up in Brum and they managed to achieve 14 bhp but as we all know RR's differ slightly so will be about the same.

really so if i wanted to achive 206bhp then i should go for a superchip (mine is a bout 193 bhp ATF)

hmmm how much was yours including the setup matey???

Come on guys, a standard Superchip program will only work with an OE set-up, all it has done is open the parameters from 'safe' mode. The standard siemens ecu is more than capable of adapting to an air filter and exhaust as it can 'learn' these changes, so a Superchip or 'a.n.other' is a waste of money tbh. When you get to cams etc then you really need a custom ecu to take into account the bigger changes in the parameters which the standard ecu cannot handle.

I would not waste my money on one unless I had the full monty of known mods that would justify a custom ecu.

plus also you can loose torque
