Not that I am aware of Mark.......so you could be 1st, there is a nice challenge for you, and I would imaging being Grouppe M kit, it will be properly thought out and engineered.

Yes, you are quite right.

I always thought / assumed that Amo's car was turbocharged.

Some discussion on the s/c & t/c subject here:

Lucky / LTB I'm just curious. I like to plan the future options!

Ian, thanks for the link, I will have a read. I'm off for most of October so will have to meet up soon!

What sort of N/A power increases are people getting for reasonable money, out of interest? Imagine it's a bit like the S in that it's pretty well stretched?

No prob's Mark...and yes, lets try to get together in October - I am in the Zambezi Valley 1-12th Oct, but assuming not consumed by lion/croc etc etc, would like a chat & a beer one weekend.

As for power, it seems ~400bhp is as far as you can go without some serious engine work.

I would have imagined some NA gains to be had. 280bhp 3.2l vs 240bhp 2.0l

320bhp should be reasonably easily reached just looking at it from a purely figures basis. it's above 100bhp/l that things get difficult.
