    What can i do to add further bhp to a vts?
    Already have the induction kit and free flow exhaust for sound, and a lowered slightly with oz and low profiles, so need to start working under the bonnet now i think.

    Standalone ECU from us to give you a solid starting point and to compliment your current mods.

    Followed by headwork, cams, and then onto Throttle bodies etc.

    get a decent set of cams and a good re map that would be a start.

    sod power your car will need to be able cope with it first so i would reccomend some Grp N billies all round and bushed up! then some bigger brakjes and sorted!
    im sure you could get all that done for less than 1k and also you car would handle so much better so the car will give you confidence to stay on the noisy pedal for longer and brake later!

    while its tempting to head straight to the engine parts bin you have to really sit down and think about what you are aiming to achieve and with what budget.

    as per the old BMW adage.. "power is nothing without control" and with that in mind you may consider that spending £1000 on handling will make you faster than spending the same on just the engine.

    obviously I'm not talking about 1/4 mile times
