   this may have already been posted but could nto find a specific thread, so apologies if this is a repost....
   
   
   what kind of BHP/Torque figures can i expect from a westcoast? whats the max you can bring out of the engine?
   
   at the moment ive got a scorpion backbox, a straight through supersprint race section, piper induction kit.
   
   any tips or suggestions to improve, other than a cam and remap?
   
   cheers
   tom

   im guessing breathing mods, mani, decat, backbox, induction kit, .. for 600 i guess some cams would get you there easily?

    well just buy a VTR? by the time you have paid to tune it you could of bought one...
    
    try new cams and a re-map then you got your power... probs 100bhp at least

    wild cams may require new pistons with notches cut for the valves to stop them hitting

    Is that the power figure without the cam being mapped? That is pretty good tbh

    Probably between 110-115bhp. Exhaust, manifold, induction and a cam.

    For 120bhp from a 1.4 it'd need to be an unbelieveably huge cam, possibly even ITBs.
