Nice reading....but IMO, it's an overkill. All that power is not properly put to the ground, thus transforming a drivers car to a dragster. What a waste.

Ummm, when u buy a Ferrari, u really don't just buy it for straight line performance rite? A Porsche Turbo S would be a better choice (not that I am saying Turbo S doesn't corner well, I am just saying it has better straight line performance) in that case. I for one will not call it an overkill if a Porsche Turbo is boosted to 700HP. Ferrari is different, u buy it for the NA engine sound, the handling, the whole design. That is also why ppl who buy Ferrari rarely do a lot of mod to it, becoz they respect their cars in its own form.

Yeah, that is definitely overkill, but there's always someone willing to do it. (Envious position to be in i guess..... I have more money than I reasonably know what to do with...so i'll just soup out my Ferrari). Pretty advanced engineering tho. nice scan - thanks.

Pretty good read, that is what I would do with my Ferrari, just like they do in Japan, be different leave the interior and exterior alone but juice the engine, that way some little punk in a souped up Honda won't leave you in the dust or some hick in a Viper.

Who cares if you lost when you are driving a Ferrari.

This the streetsleeper to end all street sleepers.
Most people think that ferrar's are only for playboys that can't drive.
The chassis can handle this kind of power.
And it looks like a proper conversion to me not a backyard messy job.
Btw stock ferrari's are bit slow in a straightline.
And here is some more info on the 355 twin turbo.
