Does any one know what i can do to my 24v to make it have extra power. I have already modified the throttle body and air box. Any suggestions would be great.

What are you going to do with it, Drag racing? 
I wish I had the power of the 24v!

It's fast enough on kick-down, when the odometer rises to redline. But in the first gear, when the box doesn't have a lower gear to change to, it's sluggish.
I have driven 150 HP cars that were able to take off much, much faster than a Cossie.
That's because Cossie's first gear is too long.
So an increase in power is welcome anytime.

yeah, i still need it to pass the MOT, so takin the cats off is silly, and they are already free flowing. The ram air debate is nonsense.

BBRGTI do a Superchip that's supposed to up it to 228bhp - about 10% increase and Pipercross do a Viper induction kit that's supposed to give about 10% more.
I believe STN has a Cossie with a Manual gearbox and a 3.7 bigbore engine - not sure where you can get this done though - Bigbossperformance is supposed to do bigbore conversions on Scorpios but there website has been down for about the last 30 years....
Let me know if you find out anything more interesting..
