Only a matter of time before you ask this!
I did a fair bit of investigating and the issue is the ECU remapping as if it isn't done right you will end up with detonation and no more engine...
Dreadnought have a remap with their supercharger conversion (Kenne Bell) that is proven on the V8.
There is a lot of info on 260s, but the long and short of it from my research was:
£8k for Dreadnought to do it with their proven map
£5k to do it yourself or semi DIY route and generic remap (That may not work properly under certain conditions leading to loss of power and engine!)
I concluded I didn't want to do the second option as I didn't want to worry about the engine going bang and that I didn't want to do option 1 as I couldn't justify spending that much on it...
If you go for option 2 you could take the risk that the engine might suffer at some point and then get a rebuilt engine with stronger internals * (which probably wont help if you get detonation), but then your total spend would be over £8k anyway...
My V8 remains uncharged
