Ayup Daz....Booked in with LSV tomorrow (assuming I can get away from work in time) - Having the full Milltek system inc headers done - Will be taking it to Charlies after to see what the gains are - No remap at the mo' as Mark and his team don't have the software

Do you mean they don't have the software for the VXR model or do they have a problem with their tuning kit?

Fireblade...thanks for that - She does look good when clean and everyone in london seems to appreciate her - LSV are doing the exaust for me - Went the Milltek route as it's trackday (and Vauxhall) friendly!!! Will post results tmw.....

V6 - My understanding is they don't have the "full" software package yet - I'll query this with Mark tomorrow as I'd like to take full advantage of having the exhaust fitted

I wondered about that as they seemed to be offering more CV8 upgrades rather than VXR at present. I have the Milltek system fitted by LSV apart from headers and seems good to me. I'm hoping to get headers too but am awaiting word from Doug re fitment. Hope it goes well,

Jeff.

I think Doug's left now....??? I think he was brought in as a trouble shooter???

I've gone the LSV/Milltek route as they seem to have one hell of a track record with HSV's and Mark seems to be a knowlegable and friendly chap...Not that Wortec aren't of course!

EFiLive is going through an upgrade and the official release of the LS2 version is imminent as I recall - hence the reason I was able to purchase a copy of the LS1 version currently used by LSV, WRC, Wortec etc at a very reasonable price from ringram. The LS2 version is available I believe but still classed as a "beta" product.

Not sure what you mean by "Vauxhall friendly" Michael.... Do you mean that Vauxhall have endorsed it?

Just for clarity we DONT use EFiLive............as you correctly say it is only in the next few weeks that it will support LS2 and we need to be able to tune LS2 a year or so ago.

PS. Wortec systems are endorsed by Vauxhall..................

Wortec...Thanks for clarifing....My understanding is that Vauxhall's "Sport System" is the Milltek one, but from reading recent threads it would seem Wortec's are endorsed also....see what I mean about the Can of Worms...?

I'll add another worm.

Vauxhalls "Sport System" is not for road use I am sure that is just because of the increased noise though!

Having heard yours, I'd suggest the Wortec one isn't either, and all the better for it....!!!
