350? lol
Not unless its mapped by a numptie!
I expect a lot more than that! 380 all day long! And if you up the rev limit gotta be 400!
Proper job!

I would definitley put a small turbo on this beautiful motor. Gotta give that motor as much torque as we can, so the next time an atom owner runs into a McLaren 720 on a straight away......boom!!!!

Ian, I've been meaning to message you about this. The SC is the thing I can't lose either but am interested to see more power. I'll drop you a PM mate...
Looks amazing
