200+bhp scorpio coswoth V6 lump with 200+ft/lb of torque in standard form so should be more with the mods to get it in the roadster.

Until now majority have 140ps or less, I got 140ps as well but planning to lower the head to gain more compression power, get racing cams "Schrick" and modify the ECU and I should get 175-180ps, this engine (BMW M42) is tested already with this configuration so I hope I'll get the same results
