   Hi all have a question for everyone. I have purchased a new car (Mk1 Saxo VTS) and wondered with the mods it has on it what kind of power it should roughly be making. The car has race cams, a camco 88 race ECU bigger injectors and has had a remap. It also has a straight through exhaust. I honestly have no idea what kind of BHP figure it would be making with these mods it feel very quick. It is stripped right out so weighs nothing has been used as a track car for quite awhile.
   
   I also wondered what speed the VTS will go in second gear usually? as im wondering if my car revs higher than normal since the work has been done as it will go 72MPH in second?.
   
   All comments welcome.

   oryt i think they only rev to about 7000rpm standard anyway
   120bhp standard so i would guess maybe about 140 or sumet hard to say really mate

   race cams... er ok.
   
   on a serious note they wont be really wild if you are on stock inlet else you really wont have it running very well.

   Get the rev counter to work and check it out.If it has cams installed it myst be around 140hp but you dont mention anything about the inlet, is it stock? Also my 3rd on my vts hits 140 km/h at 6k rpm and it revs up to 8.2k rpm due to the ecu but i have custom pistons and a crap inlet which i will be hopefully replacing with that :http://www.car.gr/parts/photos/632359/ in a few weeks.

   put it on a rolling road..
   
   is it hydraulic or solid lifter?
   
   stock pistons? forged?
   
   answers to the above will help narrow down what kind of cams they are.
   
   stock intake? throttle bodies?

    it's a tricky one but 72mph in second you could have a VTR box as according to the 106 gearbox guide at 7250rpm you would be doing 69.3mph which give or take 5% for inaccuracies would give you your 72mph on your speedo.
