Default I heard of someone getting 600+ HP out of S-type

I had read something a while back about someone that was able to get some high number of HP out of the S-type non "R" V8. I can't find where I read it. Has anyone heard of this or does anyone one have more info?

If you want a 600 hp sedan, buy a Lexus gs300.

The motor in these will go to 600 hp on stock parts. Big turbo, some injectors, aem ems, misc manifolds and piping and your set. Sad but true, it's probably cheaper to buy a gs300 and start from scratch than to try to make 600 with the s type.

Drop in a built-up small block Chevy. It'll run you some serious $$$ though.

Not S-Types, but Jags nevertheless;

631HP from a supercharged 4.2L in an XKR, was the first to crack 600HP

And these guys are hoping to beat it with a 4.0L in an XJR
