my 4.0 griff has just come back from having a chip fitted by ian @ torque rvt and im really impressed, a lot more mid range, I frightened the sh1 t out of a new m3 today in l/pool city centre (you know who you are) also runs and pulls much smoother all for a couple of hundred quid.

If you want a serious increase in real world hp and you've got a couple of grand to throw at it forget cams and haeds and go for a 4.6 bottom end. speak to people like V8 developments .. they'll probably do some storming drive in / drive out deals on stuff like that.

Having played all these (bhp increase) games in the past, with the benefit of hindsight, I'd going fo driver training, will make you far quicker than an additional few horses and you have the benefit of being able to use it in any vehicle.
