   yes it will mate, what cams are you getting?
   
   would see a better gain if you added a remap to that list aswell after you have done the rest of the mods

   total bull shit, suppose in theory it could adjust itself? but not to that extent!

   not sure on cams pug performance r doing em but i shall ask em
   which cams should i be having then if i decide to decat manifold polish head it ? i plan to go in one day have lowering decat and manifold done another day i plan to have polished head and cams and another day remap ecu is it worth a whole new ecu ? or to remap exciting one ? and is 708 cams best for my set up ? i dont think i will end up getting throttle bodies and turbo hehe i have a goal after i spend a bit on vts which is a skyline or evo not decided yet but it will be about 3 years so long way and saving to be done so what do ya reckon? also with the cams should i buy any other parts that r under the 500 mark ? like the pulley and such

    you dont need pulleys. ecu depends if you want bodied after. it nice to have a standolone but a remap of standard will do. id go 708s mate as there cheaper aswell. im sure pug performance will want to put pipers 285s on. then ask yourself do you want the headwork. would be nice but it isnt cheap

    whos doing the headwork? The gains are only as good as the person working on the head. There are but a handful of people I'd let touch one of my engines
    
    Cams I'd agree with the 708s over piper. Much better value
    
    In fact you'd find you'd save money by purchasing the parts yourself and finding someone reputable to fit it all.
    
    There is plenty of good advise on here

    ok i was quoted 44 quid for decat 277 manifold and about 1.3k i think for the polished head and cams which is including labour and vat to the price

    Depends who you get to do it. You could easily loose power.
