4x4 Mag - V8 Power

V8 Power - Time to indulge !

It's a magical set of figures in off-road circles "V8" and summons up all kinds of tales of hill climbs and mud-runs conquered, only with the assistance of that "V8". For most of us it's a conversion from diesel or 2.25 petrol to a V8 and we're delighted with the additional horsepower from the standard engine, however, there are those with more heady fantasies who are allowed to indulge further. That's when Ray Webb's V8 Developments comes in handy.

Ray's been formally established in this market since 1980 developing the V8 engine for power and tractability. His company "V8 Developments" has been actively involved in developing these engines not only in motorsport but also for other leading V8 companies. This company has a reputation for quality and reliability and coupled with the innovative engineering skills and the way they develop the V8 it's a business well worth consulting for everything V8, whether you have an early Stage One V8 109 or the latest 4.6 HSE Range Rover.

Ray's company's expertise ranges from the ability to fully modifiy injection systems for any application, through to 6.0 ltr capacity upgrades. This kind of flexibility really gives the customer the confidence to let Ray and his staff advise you fully on whatever application you have. There's full machining facilities on site, and of course world renowned cylinder head porter Paul Goodenough offering straight unleaded head conversions through to remanufactured after marker heads. Some of these units use 1.94" inlet valves and 1.65" exhaust valves giving a 450BHP maximum on 5.0ltr engines ! (Let me have one, please ! Ed.)

In conjunction with Mark Adams Injection Specialist (01252-542516) Ray's developed a hybrid 218 cam, excellent for off-road applications giving exceptional torque from 1500 rpm to 5500 rpm. This meets all off-road demands, and most importantly all MOT standards and is suited for catalytic engines ... what are you waiting for, just go and buy it !
