Spec..

I can get a Custom remap for the car, would it be worth it??

Thanks

Not really, your best to get the whole exhaut done, a good airfilter, and new camshafts

then you will see a huge gain, otherwise, your throwing money for an easy job for them and power you most likely wont see..

As above really.

Most people get a remap when they 'need' one, such as after they've uprated the camshafts and the car isn't running smoothly. The remap alters the fuelling making the most of the mods.

You would see a gain with a remap, but for the monies you would be better off buying some other mods (as above). Then when you're happy with all your modifications finally get a remap to make most of them.

If you remap it now then decide in a few weeks you want full exhaust, induction kit, and cams, you would have to get another remap and your first remap would of been a waste of money.

To be honest guys i was going to go down the hole Cams and that road but for the moneys is it worth it?/ ihad it before and it made the car run like poo, fast....but lumppy, so the guy said he will get the most out of the ecu and make it run as best it can with the 4into 1 Exhausrt i have on there

When i first got on here i was told

Induction
Fanimold
FULL exhaust system
Cams

Then a map, or in some cases minus the cams, otherwise you pay for a map, then get hungry for more, and add more mods, then have to shell out for another map

make it last on your list buddy

Think of a remap like the wrapping on a present, tieing all your other mods together

No, get some cams and a decent air filter with cold air feed and we talk.
