Sounds good Simon... what kind of power are you expecting after the new map and toys? By the time we go out on this run i'll have no chance of keeping up with you

It's a change of tuner, I came into some info the other weekend about Thorney that i'd rather not go into on here, needless to say it was bad enough to warrant putting myself out of pocket by the sum of £250 to go to Courtenay Sport who have been tuning Vauxhalls for 25 odd years.

To that end, i'm not really expecting any more power, i might be going for a high torque map, and if the money is flowing, a cam kit to gain some more torque and quicker pickup.

In reality i'm aiming for 280-285bhp and around 300-340ftlb torque. So nothing majorly different there. However the brakes will let me go in later than i can now so i gain speed there!!
