Usually the only place I see other Astons, outside of the dealer, is at Cars and Coffee in Tomball.

I knew I'd seen something about this (thought it must be here, but no...):
Spring 2014 issue of Vantage magazine; they did an article on BR (Bamford Rose) DB9 upgrade to a current gen DB9. BUT, in a sidebar, they also describe the BR upgrade pack for earlier DB9 V12.
From factory 450bhp up to 510bhp via headers, cats and cams (no mention of an ECU but I assume that has to happen if you're changing cams etc.). They quote 7,800 English Pounds (I'm too lazy to go find the squiggly L).
Now we all know that we don't get BR parts or work over here, but I suspect we have enough fab and tune folks to get similar results (Stuart?).

Thanks IBIS... that's kind of what I was looking for. I'm going to try to call Stuart on Monday and get the scoop. And Jeff I'm certainly going to try to make it to the August cars and coffee.
550 is do-able, probably even 560+ with simple bolt ons like our power pack.
600 I think would require more invasive engine modifications, or forced induction.

I can't PM anyone since I'm new... wish I could. I'm just looking for guidance on an optimum way to get to 550HP or so without breaking the bank with a systematic and "smart" method.
Maybe 550HP is out of the question and 500HP is more reasonable but if you were in my shoes what might you do and start with, etc. Thanks again guys! And Stuart, I might just give you a call on Monday or Tuesday during normal business hours.
