Just noticed TVR Power now have Speed 6 Upgrades on thier website. One question though - they have whats called a 3.6l Blueprint Upgrade - does anyone know what this means?!

Blueprinting an engine means adjusting everything and (I believe also) balancing everything to exactly the measurements and settings designed for the engine rather than within acceptable tolerances. Rich...

So what does the 'Drive In Drive Out' Suffix mean then? Surely it takes more than a couple of hours!!!

Yep, I looked at the list and thought that the quickest way of getting it done was on the basis of a fully dressed engine exchange....and even that would take a day or so. So does anybody know what the drive in - drive out bit means?

Strange that they don't mention a crank balance or a balance of the reciprocating assembled parts.

What sort of increase in BHP does the blue print give you?

[captain honesty]

why don't you phone them up and find out instead of presuming!

[rjben]

Would you like to do ii for us Captain? I've got better things to do like add pointless giberish to threads like this.....
