!!!! TODAY ONLY...TRIUMPH PARTS AT FERRARI PRICES !!!!

Toss in a new high port cylinder head at $3K and you're already in for well over $7K!

Your joking, right? $7K for a supercharger and a cylinder head, Ferrari Prices? That's not even Jaguar prices. I'm sure GBRandy would be doing hand stands if he could get parts for his Ferrari that cheap. Heck, an ECU for his Ferrari costs over $3K, just a stock cylinder head (just one not the two) cost over $10,000!

:smile:

I know the original poster was just jumping to extremes to make a point and that's all fun.

I broke the engine bay release hatch when I was fixing up a few things. This is the handle that you pull that pops the trunk. I am thinking...oh maybe $40. Ferrari inflation? OK $100? Nah..... $391.01. I had mine repaired :smile:

Just for kicks I looked up the cylinder head cost for the F355. The right hand side one is $10,972.66. I hope I never need the complete assembly....let alone right & left ones!

It looks like Moss did their home work and know the market and expected sales. They do need to make a profit and cover costs so the price is what it is. They made their decisions. Time to vote with your wallets. Personally? It looks pretty freakin cool.....

hmm....an old Porsche 911 naturally aspired has 230 HP, the Turbo version has 290 HP with a pressure of about 15 PSI.

5 PSI should not bring that kind of power I would assume.

I think Tab's motor should make 135bhp or so. Chris, I think you're running a bigger cam and more compression and are getting 150bhp? (~110 at the rear wheels using 20% driveline loss). With 6lbs of boost, I think Tab's motor should be come in around 180bhp or ~150whp.
