Yeah thanks, im on the site now.. So it seems to be 125-135... if i got the mods done and the port and polish would this gain much more???
Also, for practicality reasons will the mods decrease the reliability or the life of the car?
Its done 90k full service history by shitreon themselves and in excellent condition
Cheers

Piper 285 seems a popular choice with VTR's

If its in excellent condition these mods wouldnt affect anything i think?
Cams and the other mods would help towards these factors surely as they mean that the engine can be run harder

The engine will be working harder but they like most engines are over engineered so shouldn't be a problem..
