    V8 with mods vs Standard V10

    I've just bought a V8 and have had it bout a week, i love the car in everyway except i feel it needs more power already i previously had a noble m12 gto 3r so this was kind of expected but i was wondering what people thought would be best, a modded V8 or standard V10 in terms of performance and feel in the real world?

    I test drove both the V8 didn't have the power so went with the V10.
    If i did add more power it would be via a supercharger. I like that instant power of the V10 feels a different car all together.

    Since you just bought the V8 isn't it a little late for this question? I have driven a V10 and feel my supercharged V8 has more power especially the torque down low. Please add your location, would then know if you could get Stasis with warranty

    Well the reason i didn't go for the v10 is because i can't afford it right now, I would like to mod my v8 but wouldnt go as far as supercharging. Im starting to think that the v10 is more the car for me but untill i can afford one i'll mod my v8.

    without a supercharger or turbo you aren't going to get big power Like the V10 as its a naturally aspirated engine so even with exhaust ,intake and a remap won't see much gain.
