Not sure about run of the mill, theres plenty of Lightnings on NLOC running a few mods which take them to around 500bhp. Thats about as far as you go without upgraded S/C, built short block etc

well for about AU$17,000 you can take your V8 ute up to about 750hp and around 700lb/ft torque. Thats what gets you noticed in auz.

I see they got a Red and Silver one for sale

I'm going to look at 2 this afternoon at a Harley garage near here, black and Silver. Fancy a Sonic blue one like above but they're rare, only 2 in this country
