The best way is to send them to me. I guess that a whiff of NOS should be heaps of fun. I've thought of N2O in the past, but not while I've been sober or sane! Try http://www.highpower.freeserve.co.uk or http://www.nosnitrous.com/ if you're serious. Let me know how you get on (if you live long enough ).

Richard Thorpe did this to his Griff 500. Required a complete enegine rebuild to take the additional horses and he found thet clutches started becoming a consumable at around 800-1000 miles. And these were Tuscan arcer jobbies as well. He did get 600 bhp out of it and then started to find the brakes were not upto it, the chassis started flexing and all sorts of other problems. The nitrous was removed and the car sold a few years ago. Regards Steve www.tvrbooks.co.uk

Come on Steve, don't tell us that this never even crossed your mind........ Just think how much fun the 'Wedge from hell' would be with 100 extra BHP just when you need it! (I suppose nitrous is banned in sprinting - spoilsports) As a certified crankcase the thought has occured to me, but once you start on upgrades then you just expose new weaknesses elswhere. I don't want to start down that never-ending road, it's a very expensive journey!
