   Worth thinking about a remap or some form of management to go with the cams mate

   any that dont require a remap only give a few bhp gain and really are not value for money.

   Hi sorry just I haven’t replayed sooner, yea looking at 708s with a remap from chip wizards.
   
   Going to do new valve springs as well I think, old ones have been in there for 80k so I think new ones are a good shout really.
   
   You don’t need stand alone management for getting cams set up do you?
   I have a single plug in my vts.

   No, you can get your current ecu remapped. Thats why you are going to chipwizards no?

    Std mapped ecu is fine but if you want to go bodies or boost in future it won't do it. i have a mapped 1 plug for sale
