Evening all,as my eaton blower is going to be blowing into rv8 plenum(lowered)do you still need the trumpets or can i just machine some nice bells into where trumpets were,does that make sense?

Thanks for replies,estimated hp,hoping for 3-350,don't understand llbs requirements,how many fitment types are there,i am using late rover v8 manifold,why are injectors much cheaper in us,how much to get them to uk

Sorry for all the questions but i have yet another one,building rv8 4.6,comp ratio 8.5,m112 eaton supercharger,what injectors will be required and where to obtain from,looked on mr injector site does £87.00 each(ouch x8)sound right or are there alternatives,don't want to spoil the job by being tight...

Question,The xjr that i have broken for parts runs at 13psi boost,(checked with jaguar),with a cr of 8.5,this makes about 390hp on 4.0 v8,as i want to use ...

comp ratio is 8.35 ish

Thanks for reply,i have tvr t5 gearbox and clutch assy,Hoyle front and back end,need propshaft,as you can see have spent a fair bit so far and don't really want it to go bang. My concern is that as i said i want to use the jag system as far as poss,complete with chargecoolers,the jag runs 12psi,don'...
