   hello this is my first post, I have a 2002 saxo vts with the following mods;
   decat,
   miltek sports exhaust,
   piper cross air filter,
   ported & polished throttlebody (the one where the air filter connects to),
   4-2-1 manifold.
   
   I plan to have 708's camshafts, lightened flywheel and an ECU remap.
   My question is, is my planned modz suitable for the modz I already have to acheive about 160bhp? and also is a lightened flywheel worth getting with my setup as i require fast acceleration?
   
   thank you!

   oh ok hiflowheads sell one for £88 is that one as good as all the other places that make them?
   and also what else could I do to my car to increase acceleration? have read that the 106 rallye gearbox increases acceleration on vts's but reduces top end, which doesn't bother me as i only want fast acceleration?

   with those mode you should see around 150-155bhp. for anything more you have got to go the extra mile with everything. such as:
   
   port & polished head,
   gasflowed inlet manifold,
   heatwrap your 4-2-1manifold
   get an enclosed induction kit with the best possible cold air feed
   make sure your 4-2-1 is port matched to your head
   staight through exhaust system,
   thinner headgasket & skimmed head
   
   the list goes on. on their own these buts dont make a lot of difference but together they all add up. mine made 166bhp@fly with similar mods to what you are planning. but asll the above was also done!

   i had 152 with that kinda spec
   get the head sorted and a standalone (a lot easier to fine tune the map) if you want 160

   unless going bodies on a mk1 i wouldnt bother witrh standalone as the ecu is more tunable/ more codes are accessible but being as yours is a mk2 engine i agree with Alex. go standalone and you could see more power.
