   All depends on what cam you get mate, some dont need a ramap. But if you get a more wild cam, then its advisable to get a remap, as it will sort out you idle / fueling, and let everything perform to its potential.
   
   Take it you have already got all the breathing mods?

   Breathing Mods? Dont think so, completley standard engine wise.

   In that case better off getting:
   
   Air filter
   Cat back exhaust
   4-2-1 manifold
   Decat
   
   Then going for cams and a remap

    because you get a manifold and a mk2 system, which is from the manifold back

    If you really wanted I could take you in a cammed VTR making 125bhp and see if you notice the difference between mine and your's. Granted my engine isn't in a saxo but the chassis weighs pretty much the same.
