No clue.
But generally speaking, it's very hard to get high-performing naturally aspirated modern engines to gain performance with bolt-on mods (turbo or supercharged engines are another story). If you do find stuff, beware of over-inflated claims of performance improvements.
As a rule, very little that you find will be worth the money considering the marginal performance boost (if any) and the issues you may have with dealers voiding warranties.
I personally feel the LR4, for what it is, is PLENTY fast with the V8. You may want more straight line performance, but it is a tall, heavy SUV. It already can feel too fast for what it can handle on turns. I would rather buy a cheap old Miata for fun in the twisties than spend money trying to make the LR4 faster. That's me.
