John, Tubi in Europe offers a complete engine upgrade with internal modifications, naturally aspirated, and ECU in conjuction with their exhaust system. Never offered in the US, contact Franc at Tubi in Michigan for more information. I beleive it was a $25,000 package in 1996 (memory here). Of course, Norwood offers a turbo system for F50 too. | ||

Ben, At 10,500 RPM I would expect quite a difference!! - Can you just imagine watching the needle banging against the end stop on a 10,00 RPM Rev counter !!! | ||

F50. engine- "tipo 130" 520bhp @ 8500rpm. F50GT. engine- "tipo 130a" 750bhp @ 10,500rpm. You do the math, I wonder how different the tipo 130a really is.... | ||

my 512TR makes around 460hp with very minor mods. I think the F50 makes like 500hp stock. You can buy a complete tubi exhaust with headers and a chip, air filters, that would probably get the F50 up to F50. Ferraris would probably charge $200k US for their kit Michelotto usually builds hot rod kits for Ferrari | ||

"I'v heard that Ferrari offers a kit that upgrades the F50 ..up to 550 bhp" Talk about a rip off then. The F-50 makes close to that already. | ||

Ferrari built 3 F50LMs with slightly differnt bodywork, different wing on the back. I heard it was faster around Fiorano than a 333SP. Not sure what they did to the engine but I am sure they modded the engine & trans as well | ||

I know the F40 has a kit that enlarged the KKK turbo chargers...and gives the F40---650 bhp--- Now I wanna know about the F50? Does it have a kit that upgrades the engine? And what about the Enzo? Does it have one also? |
