Are you able to handle the power already!!!??
Have you already uprated suspension and brakes?
If you have done the above and need more power (eg for serious track work) then austec or trackcar are able to do various eg ecu, rolling road remap, engine rebuilt to Red Rose standard, breathing, injectors etc.... How deep are your pockets - that lot will cost up to £7K ? All bar the RR rebuild will be about 2 - 3 K I guess. Just a stock ecu chip is a few hundred. etc etc

suspension is done. brakes are to be done beggining og next month. With regards to handling the power im not sure. My main issue is that i want more power in 4th and 5th.

Give them a ring & let them talk you through the options, or pop down to see Paul in person.

Then you can decide how far you want to go, but many people upgrade the driver before they upgrade the car! Have you thought about a Ride Drive session?

im hopefully going down there on thursday if i dont have any problems at work.

I presume you mean more acceleration power in 4th and 5th? Are you sure? I presume you are doing some fast long straight tracks? Those gears are not really the gears for road use maxing. 2nd and 3 rd are where its at in a cerb on the road. imho

I did a bit of a write up on my Cerb in various states of tune, have a read as it may give you an idea of what you want to do with yours, my work was done through Joolz at Trackcar Solutions - www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=223033&r=2880062&hm=27881#2880062

The 4.5 gains massively from being properly mapped, not only in terms of overall power, but also in drivability terms. Heartily recommended!

As a matter of interest, what suspension & brakes did you go for?

re more power: if you're at Austec, see if they feel your Cerb is out of sorts. 4th should give plenty of power if you're 4.5-5.8k rpm. I've only experienced that on airfields, and mine's only a 4.2, but the acceleration was definitely there.

running nitrons.
its accelerates fine in 4th and 5th. just want it to accelerate even quicker! 130 to 175 dosnt take long at all.
