Default Looking for other modifications that will increase mainly Torque.

Hello, I own a 2015 Jaguar F-Type R. I’m on my 6th month of Ownership, 2nd oil change, 13k miles in the last 6 months, and about to by my 6th and 7th tire now 😂. But all set aside I wanted to ask you guys about what more can I do to the car to increase torque. Right now I have the list of mods on the car:
-Velocity AP crank pulley
-Velocity AP decat downpipes
-Velocity AP 5.0 Tune
-My output power should be 650 HP - 580 Torque
I’ve looked at the Eventuri Intakes but $1,800 is just a bit too much for the amount of power.
-If anyone else could drop any suggestions for me that could increase the power, mainly torque, that’d be great! Thank you!

ill also attach some pictures for you guys because why not!!

Assuming you are not just humble bragging here, you will have to step up supercharger to push more power out. You are at the limit of what could be done economically and will have to get into big buck mods next. About the only mod I see missing is ram intake.

However, if you want quicker car, it might be possible to get more gains by tweaking suspension, wheels and tires. You are unlikely to be able to put all that power down with just stock setup.

Also don't forget about reducing rolling weight. Stock rims are heavy. Stock disks are heavy. There are people that offering lighter alternatives.

haha no Bragging here man, just trying to find out what else I can do to increase the torque. Thank you so much for your input though, I’m definitely going to look into the wheels/tires. I’ve recently gotten new brake sets so I’ll hold off on those for now.

Every 100 pounds of weight savings = 10 HP is how the saying goes.

The wheels and brakes are weighty on the F as has been said.

Maybe you could ditch your sound system and listen to your phone on earbuds?
Don't carry passengers and throw their seat away?
Side windows made out of polycarbonate?

At this point, your wallet is certainly going to be lighter. That's the FIRST step.

PS, nice video.

There's also a thread about replacing the OEM lead-acid battery with a Lithium-ion one. Saves something like 50 pounds.

add K&N filters or eventuri intake
Eurotoys large radiator and change hella pump to BOSCH pump.
Add upper smaller performance pulley

So op you havent actually had a before and after rolling road done!!
And your output will be nearer 630 and 560 just like everyone elses also i wouldn't bother doing the upper pulley as your already
nearly maxing out the supercharger and generating a **** load of extra heat with it.

ahh okay gotcha! What would you suggest i should do to help the supercharger in expanding its load and not generate too much heat where its being pressured out to the max?

Install a TVS R2300 supercharger.

What is needed at these levels is Meth injection like the systems Snow Performance puts out. Problem is they don't have a kit for Jags so you will need to experiment.
Should work fine but as always the devil is in the details and that's why a pre-made kit would be ideal.

Also improve the inter cooler. Maybe a larger inter-cooler pump, that's not a documented gain but sure is a good idea!

After that are you against NOS? Maybe a 150HP shot? More if your brave or stupid.

Anything beyond the standard bolt-ons discussed above will require a significant amount of fabrication, development, and trial-and-error. A larger blower (TVS R2300+) would certainly take things to a new level, but I think there are huge gains to be had with E85. Given any possible shortcomings with the fuel system are addressed, E85 could add another 60-80 WHP as we see on M3/M4s and GTRs, all else unchanged.

Your next step is a higher capacity supercharger, replace the electric intercooler pump and you will need a water/meth injection system as you will be at detonation/preignition. As sinf suggested I would also work on the chassis dynamics, lower weight forged wheels will save you 14lbs or so per corner, that needs to be mated to suspension tuning (springs and dampening), sway/anti roll bar upgrades. If you want your 700N transmission to last, work on cooling the fluid as well.
EVenturi is a waste.

If you want to get rid of the heat, eliminate the supercharger radiator & install a Killer Chiller. In the middle of the summer the car will pull like it would on a cold winter day.

Looks like we could use the universal kit: https://killerchiller.com/products/u...l-parallel-kit
But where would it fit/mount?

Could you offer recommendations and let me know of expected cooling gains? I am interested in this mod on a non-tuned engine, as I think I do run up to a temp limit and have car cut power when racing on very hot days. This is just butt dyno feel with back to back laps, but at 100F or so I am missing good 10% power or so after few hot laps in addition to expected forced induction losses on a hot day. WOT just not the same after just a few laps. Not overheating (engine temp), just missing power. It must be ECU pulling something back.

Any help understanding and addressing this is much appreciated.

Jaguar says not to use E85 "as serious engine and fuel system damage will occur".
