Carsten-

I have some doubts that you can get that much power without serious
modifications to the FI system including a new chip, larger injectors, &
more. It is probably possible with a 650 cfm Carter, Holley, or
Edelbrock 4-bbl carb & the right intake manifold at a lower cost. You
will have to do some serious head work to get the Rover heads to flow
enough for this horsepower, & the cam required will be barely
streetable. Allow $1500-2500.00 US for the head work alone.

Talk to RPI Engineering in England, web    rpi-engineering.co.uk   or
the Wedge Shop in the USA      SCMTR@aol.com

The type of rear suspension that will allow you to "hook up" that much
power with the light weight of the car would be a ladder bar or 4-link,
they may not be the best for going around corners.

It is very, very expensive to have your cake & eat it too, as a wise man
once said.
