I learned while covering a car show for the local paper about a guy who claims to specialize in exotic/high-end cars.
He was there with a 1985 Ferrari 308 which he claimed to have tuned to make "a dyno'd 400 horsepower" from its rebuilt, all-alloy 3-liter V8.
How in the **** is this possible? I know it was no standard 308 mill, because when he fired it up it was positively buzzing... very, VERY high compression ratio at work, but 400 hp out of a 3-liter on pump gas???
That's difficult to believe.
I do know it had QV cylinder heads and the owner is the former CEO of Winrock International (more ****ing money than Santa Claus) so whatever happened to this 308, it couldn't have been cheap.
Can this be the truth? Even measured at the flywheel?
I'll try to get a picture of the car on the thread early tomorrow.
Chüs!
