    Back to the original topic.

    As some have pointed out, if you put headers, high flow cats, free flow muffler, and get it tuned on the dyno, that should give you some more power. Fabspeed has advertised on their website 600+hp to the crank with their full tune package.

    The big question is boosted or naturally aspirated?

    Another variable within the normally aspirated universe is displacement increase. Anyone know if the current 458 block has any room left for a bore or stroke increase?

    The white 458 TT was my car, and I can tell you it ran flawlessly. I loved it. I considered getting it back about 100 times, I really enjoyed it. I would suggest to anyone to try it, but I know most think its stupid and over the top. But what the hell, do it and enjoy it.

    The Fabspeed modified & tuned 458 put down 518whp. That is some pretty daggon good power to the wheels, with out opening up the engine. Especially from only a 4.5L engine.
