It is not the fault of the engine that is holding us back but the fact that we are trying to push a full sized family car down the road with only 170-180 rwkw. To make a car boogie you need two things weight or power.. In N/a form the 4.0l just doesn't have enough huff and puff to do the job for the average bloke. I remember long time ago when Aesop was still writing fables the Mock EB that had no interior was running 13.8 yet today with 'new' designed headers, cam shaft profiles and the be all and end all- the EDIt we aren't any further along...
I am not shooting you down Stav, I admire your devotion and inspirational qualities but I don't think it is for everyone.

No worries mate. The bigger plan for the wagon is to be deregistered and become a drag only car.Lighter body parts and crazy camshaft are on the agenda. The bmw m3 weighs around 1300 kgs with the 3.2 litre engine .Nissan 200sx I have seen with 10 killowatts more than mine on Croydons dyno pull mid 13's due to their weight. I think I am addicted to making something happen which is unlikely.
Maybe I should start a horsepower helpline for horsepower addicts..lol

You can quit with help!!
