They didnt make 200...they spent over £30,000 ,,,then basically gave up...particularly when a guy called "MADROD" came along and easily did 200 in a Sierra...lol...(On Nitrous)

There are plenty of stock s4s and GTs running around with close to 500 horsepower. And they aren't blowing up, and they run around with boost on constantly. So the engine and block should hold up fine for a short burst of extreme power. As long as it is brought on slowly, and not a hard launch off the line, the drivetrain should be ok as well... I'd open up the exhaust though... Even if you can dump in extra fuel with the jets, you'll need to get rid of all those extra burnt gasses and fuel...

With the new MAXX controller I will be fitting....I can very precisely set the amount of Nitrous that gets to the engine....as an example ...there are 5 settings for EACH gear...so I should not get a hard hit on either the engine or block...hopefully
My exhaust system is as follows.... Richard Armstrongs X - Pipes with bullets (empty) then standard S2 resonators in middle of car...(not much in them im told)....then an RMB...so hopefully there will be enough room for gases to escape...
All the best Brett
