If your willing to spend money on a super charger then a t16 is the way to go imo

What your ignoring is the age of this engine.
I will give you some facts.
A friend ran a std nasp Zs up santa pod and did consistent 14.9 quarter miles.
I took a nasp zs up the strip with reduced weight and ran a 14.3
I ran a striped zs out with 210 hp and ran a 13.7
I ran a striped (lighter than the nasp) supercharged zs up the strip many times and managed to get 13.5 after 3 years. (260BHP!!)
go and look for a T16 up the strip. Honestly Power is not everything and I know pub talk means a lot to people but a decent 200bhp KV6 will see off a 250bhp T16 every day.
So the T16 can be pushed to 300bhp? I wouldn't bother the cost and benefit if any outweigh the cost. you end up needing serious chassis development, brake developmentand so on. Fact is (me included) the ZS in KV6 form is still very track agile and I doubt many of us could push it beyond its limitations in the right circumstances (115mph down craners on road tyres for example!!!)
I have witnessed so much pure ***** in my time with these cars (03 onwards)
Honestly a T16 is well passed it. do the right mods to a KV6 and say goodbye.
