Can you give us a few more details on this car you're referring to and whom it belongs to? If yet another 600+bhp beast exists, it would be nice to know and see more info on it.

I have no doubt that there are some insanely powerful Volvos all around the world; I myself have seen a 1/4 mile certificate for one which had around 1100bhp!! However, in the context of the UK, and with particular reference to the main tuning companies here, I do not know of anyone other than S.W.Autos who have designed and built in-house, a Volvo which is anywhere near as powerful; certainly none who can reliably substantiate any such claims anyway. However, watch this space, as there are several more SW Autos 'spawn' to hit the streets soon!

But back to the question in hand, do give them a call "teefive" and let us know how you get on.

Smile Big power white blocks

Hi All

My company as far as i know builds the fastest white blocks in the uk but ive never done a red block maybe soon eh.

Stuart

Ps some recent mapping on my car has maxed out the fuel pumps that they use for big power red block engines so perhaps a dyno session is in order soon.
