Thats being upgraded to so it will soon be 550 rwhp ..... but i like the sound of a really pissed of v8 nothing beating that. But then again i love all fast cars :-) even Swedish ones like the Koenigsegg CCX....

I dont like FI on a motor that isnt build for it from the beginning doing a compressor or twin turbo would be great but there are some drawbacks ...like belt slipping , heat , more weight in the front, and to be able to boost more than 7-8 psi need forged motor and to get a nice map need something like a bigstuff databox of course its doable with the oem crap databox but you cant tune as good as witha bigstuff databox. And to pass inspection in Sweden with a compressor or turbo setup lol forget it ....

Just throwing that out there. Not sure if you are stuck on the N/A or what.
