Tuning modifications for the Ferrari 360
We like the 360 and with a few of our 360 tuning tips we are sure you will have a fantastic car. Better than what Ferrari ever intended!
Available in standard form with power of upto 427bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the 360. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 469.7bhp to 725.9bhp with modifications varying from a few DIY mods to some pretty major engine work. The higher you go the more unreliable the car will be and you should expect to have to rebuild the engine regularly if you want to extract silly power. A big forced induction upgrade would be needed to push beyond the 100bhp per 1000cc limit.
If you have a lower powered 360 your best bet for a mod would be an engine swap with the 427bhp 360 Coupe. There are some star performers in the 360 line up. With a few mods you will make yours a road scortcher rather than just a hot hatch.360 tuning projects should generally start with some improvement to the intake/exhaust of the engine. So get a stainless steel exhaust and good quality induction kit. A good fuel pressure regulator will up the throttle response.
The next level of modifications involve taking more aggressive action. The 360 responds well to a fast road cam which is one of the best value mods out there. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.
The most powerful 360 Coupe in our database offers 427 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 469.7 bhp to 725.9bhp with mods we have outlined above.
The forced induction 360s are around with some impressive Turbo and supercharger conversions being done. These give impressive power gains over standard but require a lot of effort to get working properly. If you have a turbo or supercharger get the intercooler uprated for even more power. The 360s come in various power levels right up to 427bhp. On a motorsport prepared 360 it is possible to achieve power figures of anywhere approaching 555.1bhp to 811.3bhp. But this sort of power requires some pretty heavy investment and a hell of a lot of engine work. . High on your list of mods for your 360 should be handling improvements. A drop of 35mm will work well on most cars, any lower and you will hit other problems.
