im having a dilema.. lol, so many ways to take the tuning now of my car and im just not sure which is the best to do..

plans for this year 170 - 180 bhp (190 would be nice), plans for the future... supercharge st 1 or 2.

so, atm i have the following

2.4 manifold
ported TB
4-1 manifold
2.5" downpipe
200 cell cat
2.5 ubend
piper backbox
k&n filter

i can only assume with the above id be about 150 maybe more.

initially my idea was piper reground cams then remap to suit..

but then i started getting ideas like, standalone management which i can carry on to the s/c

then i was thinking about just a remap, with what ive got and not bother with cams..

i just dont know what to do..

i was thinking about buying the cams, and fitting them myself to save labour charge then getting a rolling road remap done with standard ecu only problem is i have no idea how to fit cams, and dont have the tools to take the engine out if its an engine out job which im not sure it is but i dont know.

i would also like to do the balancer shafts and fit a lightweight flywheel at some point but thats deffo an engine out job.. and again, no clue what im doing..

im hoping that with cams and a rolling road tune i would see 170 - 180 but im not sure.

so advise would be much appreciated here..

z22se

reason im not looking for huge power increases is that the car only weights 850kg..

cams are a lot of money tbh, if u have it get the cams and a remap, i dont know much about the z22se but i reacon u wud have 25-30 bhp increase.

wudnt bother with the flywheel until u need a clutch lol, too much hasle...

I've never seen a z22se/l61 on throttle bodies, what about that?
