    Right then I have no idea on how a remap works or anything lol
    I just want to know what are the main benefits of gettin a remap and when you should ideally be looking to get one etc. Any extra info welcome

    Remap works by over writing the information on the cars ECU.

    Best done after cammming an engine.

    i have thought about camming my engine many of times but not exactly got enough know how on what i will need. someone said to me that you dont just put the uprated cams in, you also need some other parts aswell?!

    really when fitting new cams you shud fit new hydraulic lifters (£160)

    cams shud really be done after the induction and exhaust are done, then finish off with the remap.

    other than that nothing else is needed.
