found this, 600bhp looks quite nice but know nothing of the company

I suppose there are 2 ways for looking at it, 100bhp extra for under £6k sounds good but if you look at it as 20% extra then maybe not

going to contact them to see if that is a fitted price and also what expected performance is but just wondered if anyone knows anything of them

Do you acctually need 600bhp?

What kind of question is that, of course it's a yes :rolleyes:

Need ? it's available so of course I do

How much of that 100bhp can be achieved by just a remap without the supporting (expensive) mods?

They have been around for donkeys years and did some lovely work on the old XK.

I think a map and supercharger pulley swap account for over half of it
