the other performance mods are high lift cams, decat and RAM air induction kit
also thinking about re-mapping turbo is too expensive atm haha

the cost inst nearly worth the small gain of power its only really worth doing if youre considering a turbo con

Well not really....

You going to need new pistons to run any sort of wild cam, what engine are you talking about here?

well as said if your going for a wild cam you would need to do this but you would also need some improved air flow into the engine ie throttlebodies as the wild cam would be useless unless the airflow was to the standard the cam was made for ie newman phase 4 but theres no point if your not going to have a full exhaust system as the back presure would be to high and ristrict the power
