Jaguar F-Type P450 Tuning and ECU Remapping
Paramount Performance has just completed its R&D on the Jaguar F-Type P450 5.0L V8. The P450 entry model is in effect down tuned 550bhp engine. The results from our Jaguar F-Type P450 tuning and remapping are impressive to say the least!
The standard Jaguar statistics for the Jaguar F-Type P450 should be 450 BHP and 580 NM Torque.
With the same 5.0ltr V8 Jaguar engine, significant gains were always going to be possible from tuning. After all it has the same V8 engine fitted to its big BHP brother. The same Eaton supercharger, and in fact it’s the same set up as fitted to the 575bhp SVR version. So you know the engine and set up is more that capable of running huge power. And now Paramount can make that happen for you.
When the Paramount Team tested the P450 Jaguar F-Type it performed really well even in standard from. The stock car was expected to run just 450bhp, but in testing it was proved to run closer to 480bhp, and 600NM of torque
True to form and as expected, the Paramount software guys spent time identifying the maps and control files that keep the power in the lower bhp range. With a few adjustments, taking the software to the normal level of tuning for an SVR vehicle and a little more…. The dyno showed the tune and remap delivered 598 BHP and a huge 780 NM Torque.
With Jaguar F-Type P450 Tuning and ECU Remapping by Paramount Performance, a division of VIEZU Technologies, take your Jaguar P450 now has the power to take on pretty much any super car.

FAQs
How much BHP does a Jaguar F-Type P450 have?
The Jaguar F-Type P450 officially boasts 450 BHP and 580 NM of torque straight from the factory.
In real-world testing actual power output on a dyno can vary, with some cars making slightly less than the factory figures and other vehicles delivering closer to 480 BHP and 600 NM of torque in standard form, even before any tuning. This is no surprise given the P450 shares its 5.0L V8 engine, supercharger and overall set-up with Jaguar’s higher-performance SVR models. With a bespoke remap, these figures can be significantly enhanced with Paramount Performance Tuning and a VIEZU remap.
Can you tune a Jaguar F-Type?
Absolutely, yes. The Jaguar F-Type responds brilliantly to tuning by Paramount Performance, particularly the V8 models such as the P450. Since the platform shares much of its hardware with the more powerful SVR and R versions, there’s a lot of untapped potential which we can unleash.
Paramount Performance specialises in custom performance upgrades and ECU remapping for the F-Type, extracting substantial gains in both power and torque. For example, a tuned P450 can see figures rise to an impressive 600 BHP and 780 NM torque – transforming its performance into true supercar territory.
Will the F-Type be a future classic?
Without question, the Jaguar F-Type is well on its way to becoming a future classic. Its timeless design, evocative of the legendary E-Type, coupled with its thunderous V8 soundtrack and strong performance credentials, ensure its desirability will only grow.
Limited production numbers of certain variants and the industry’s shift towards electrification further cement its place as a sought-after modern classic in the making.
What does P450 mean in Jaguar?
In Jaguar classification, the ‘P’ refers to ‘Petrol’, while the number denotes the vehicle’s power output in metric horsepower, or PS. So, the P450 badge represents a petrol-powered engine producing approximately 450 metric horsepower.
