Brad will fit it under his bonnet, and make more power with a unit half the size !

Be interesting to see if the engine actually held up long term

Nice!! This would answer the grumpy midget who is looking to crack 1000hp in his R8.

What's the cost of those two items thought? Doubt mush changes from 25k plus fitting, extras, tuning....

mmmmm that looks cheap

LSX376-B15 is £7300

this does look very cool and I love the idea of it.

but what could you fit that into and still have something that resembles a bonnet? putting 'whipple' into youtube suggests that maybe a ford needs to be purchased....

Nooo. Just buy the GTS, stick a cam in it and tickle the pullies. Easily north of 700bhp.

Not your car, least not with a very big bulge.

Ha ha - you must know thatI like half finished projects more than working cars Roger

Got to admit, having a whipple sitting so far outside the bonnet line would be sooo cool.

Waiting on my annual bonus to see what I can afford.

If I ever was going to go down the supercharger route that's what I'd have
Sticking right throw the bonnet

Watching the engine dyno video again. Noticed the headers look like they start glowing at 40-seconds in.

Not a surprise, lots of heat inside a dyno cell and no real airflow to assist with cooling.

Mmmmmmmm, glowing header videos, me likey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7opruWfyrOA

4l would look better if it was poking through the bonnet and shiny
