Default 350bhp upgrade to 400bhp worth £3K or not

Would Powerstations upgrade to Stage 4 (400bhp) be worth £3K, what's the difference in performance ???

If you are an average wheelman then I would suggest spending about 20% of that to be coached by Don Palmer and it will give you a greater objective speed. He improved my lap times by over 10% in a single morning, and at least on some tracks I was already reasonably quick.

For subjective speed then you will feel the extra 50bhp, although your new car is quite torquey

If it's lying around use it !

If it's borrowed, don't !

Nearly there, and I love it, but it isn't good value for money, I could have bought another bug-eye, and tracked it for £4.5K.....

You choose ?
