S90 3.0 Manual

[Tomcat]

I'm hoping to be picking up a late S90 in January, it's black, has the 3 liter engine and also has a manual gearbox. This is the first one I've seen and the guy says its the only one in the country (UK), have any of you seen a manual 3 liter before?. I'm considering modding it when I get it so I was wondering whats available for it over in europe in the way of performance mods?

The s/v90 3.0 came with manual trans,but it does not have 204 hp like all other 3.0 engines.

S/v90 3.0 manual=180 hp.

The 3,0 180 hp (manual) replaced the 2,5 170 hp of the 960.

What is the difference between the 180hp and the 204 hp Version? Different cams?

Don't know, I wouldn't mind finding out as when I get it the first thing I'll be doing is upping the power considerably. I'm not obsessed with power but if I'm going to have such poor fuel economy then I may as well have the power to go with it. I know that the exhaust on these is really restrictive and that replacing it with a decent system can release as much as 40hp, I also know that the cams from the very early 960's are a lot better and can also add a good few hp. I'm hoping for exhaust (including headers), intake, cams, injectors and possibly a remap and then to see what sort of power it's putting out.

The 180hp engine is a European Version. Engine code 96.
The camshafts are different. Mayby something more.
