~400bhp CSLs?
I got my geo done at Thorney a little over a month ago and whilst I was there I had a brief conversation about engine tuning with John Thorne. We talked about what could be done to up the power of a a CSL without changing the displacement and it got me thinking.
How many CSLs are out there with the manifold to back box, Schrick, management etc all done and what are they making? I'm sure between Evolve/Simpson/Thorney and the like we must have a few cars kicking out some decent numbers... |

I'll give you all the baked beans in our cupboards if you can beat 380bhp with out motek or internal block changes.

Get onto cutters.
I think SpecialKev is running c.450bhp. Not sure if he's dyno'd it.....take a look at his posts. To be honest, I'm not convinced....he sounds like a guy going through a mid life crises imo.... |

As Shimmy said, without am ECU like Motech and a shit load on internal work anyone claiming 400bhp or anywhere near is simply talking bollocks!
Save your money. There's better ways to find speed.

I've just had shrick cams fitted and a remap by Tom Schrimer racing near the ring and I have a print out (in the car unfortunately at the ring) and that made 391.6 PS not sure what that is in BHP and 377nm torque again not sure what that is in lbft.
I'll upload the Dyno printout when I bring the car back next month if you like. The car is standard apart from Miltek cats, think they are 100 cell. Tom said that was the most he's ever had out of a CSL with those cams, last one did 386ps. Ando.

I would leave it well alone and improve driving! 400bhp+ sounds unreliable
