Basically me and my mate are having a competition to see whos 1.4 sport is the highest bhp. They both have the same induction kits (pipercross viper) and similar backboxes, so it will be very close id say.

Mine has 62k on it, his has 90k on it
Mines a '97, his is a '99

Was wondering would redex, or even super unleaded gain me a couple of bhp, or even 1??

Any other ideas??

Probably a useless thread, but thanks for any info

make sure wheel alignment is spot on
check brakes arent binding at all
do an oil and filter change
increase tyre pressure to 40 psi before it goes on the rollers
plenty of cold air feeds to the air filter

And I don't suppose filling with super would do it any harm either.
