Cologne V6 - 160bhp from a 2.8
BMW M30 I6 - 181bhp from a 2.8
The Cologne is easier to get big power from if you're serious about tuning though.
rikster, lovin your motor. defo makes me think that if i didnt get me borbets i would be going down the bbs route. tech 2 with wide dished wheels are the best looking imo.
cloud, thanks for sorting out my lame attempt of hosting up pic.

The 5.7 litre Ford V8 of the era produces as much power as the 2.8 M30 I6. What do they do with the other three litres? Now that's a shit engine.
