i have heard with a cam and a GOOD RE-MAP, along with de-cat bmc and 4-2-1, you can be looking at around 120bhp so yer am guessing it would be as quick as a standard vts

Depends, lot's to take into account..
My cammed vtr is running 122bhp and ran a 15.6 1/4 with crap tyres. No doubt with me (a 4-5 stone lighter driver) and a decent set of tyres I could shave it down to 15.4. The vtr was fully stripped as well, makes a pretty big difference on the 1/4..
I've seen a standard VTS running all day at york (full interior) and the best it ran was a 15.4, worse being a 15.6 .. excusing the lap up the strip were he missed a gear. Not sure on tyres though for the VTS.
So yes it's possible from my past experiances but take into account tyres / cars being stripped etc..
I have no doubt that after 80-90 (practically when the 1/4 ends) the cammed vtr will start to run out of puff compared to the vts. Not really tried mine against another vts at them speeds to tell you though.
Also take into account if the vtr is a mark 1 or mark 2, mark 2's are slightley faster as standard.

the main factor alot of people tend to forget about is the gearbox and not just the power output

its one of the reasons the vts is considerably faster to 60. not just the engine but the box is totally different, the vtr box is the same as a diesel ffs!

Aye well like I said I am going from past experiances nothing more,
I think what I am trying to say is just because a vtr has 120-130bhp +, it does not make it as fast as a vts. I know if my vtr was running the same tyres + full interior it would not be as fast as a vts or as close as it is now.
Never looked into changing the box on mine, the xsi/rallye box what you speak of limits your top speed by a considerable amount dosent it? or am I thinking of a different box..

the s1 rallye box is what really rapes top end. Yates has the xsi crown wheel and pinion i sold him so his is now an xsi box (same as vts gearset but with better final drive imo) s2 rallye is another option as its a bit 'longer' once the final drive is taken into account compaired to the other two
If you want to do more track action in your 8v one of the best things you could do would fit an ATB like matt did and have a slight tweek of the gearbox you use.

IMO yes until end of 4th start of 5th Gear.
Because of the gear box.
With a VTS box on the VTR without a doubt would be neck and neck imo
