Both Torque and BHP run hand in hand. One is just as important as the other when it comes to cars. :)

I just want to win the bloomin trophy back at Santa Pod. :)

It is only a calculator and will give a rough Idea of terminal speed and time but there is so much that can vary in this. E.G. gearbox ratios even wheel diameter and rolling resistance. it says I should do 11.8s and 128mph but as yet I've not achieved anywhere near that. There's only one real...

Looks like you had a great time at the Pod. Santa Pod can be such a good day out and RWYB days are a great way of legally giving your car a good old thrashing. :)

Hi Vikram09. welcome to the forum. :)

I had a Hillman Imp. Had a high lift cam sports manifolds and uprated SU carb. For the size of the 998cc engine it went like the clappers. :)

Hi Mike. Welcome to the forum. :)

How about this as a starter. :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-XJS-5-3-V12-HE-AUTO/271649710881?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29478%26meid%3D4ebeefb66a794a21a5f5a82357bf31e9%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D271649710881

The XK's fetch more money but look a lot nicer. Get a nice V12 XJS and treasure it and it'll pay you back in the future. :)

£1850 for 370bhp not bad :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-XJR-4-0-V8-Supercharged-/281682613327?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item419597944f

A little story for you just to compare....... I ran my XJR (supercharged) against a BMW M5 at Santa pod. I also had the Mrs in the car so I was carrying an extra few kilos (not saying how many she'll hit me). Anyway Basically I beat him on the 1/4 mile although I crossed the line at 107mph he...

My insurer knows about the other mods on the car and was quite keen to bump up my premium when they heard about the supercharger upgrade and remap but they were not concerned about the exhaust. Like I said before the nos is only for track days and is never coupled up/Installed on the public road...

Yes the Idea here will work but a much larger capacity alternator would have to be install to generate the power required to keep it running. There will also be a bigger load on the engine to turn such an alternator. :)
