    I'm looking at caming my vtr, it's fairly moddified already, ( 4-2-1 decat, straight through and cherry bomb, piper cross induction kit, all sorts of suspension mods) but what I want is more speed. My thoughts are a cam, new belt, and a remap. What I want to know is what cam, and where can I get it remmaped with a rolling road, ++ rough prices. Any clues people!?!?

    Once I've got the cam what else do I need for fitting? And do you need to do anything with the timing? Is there anywhere that re program's a standard ecu?

    Can't get a pred for a vtr mate. You can have the std ecu mapped at jamsport and chipwizards, not cheap though by any means. I had a jamsport mapped ecu on my vts, chipwizards is regarded to be the best place

    yea you could goto chipwizards in rochdale to map the ecu when its all fitted, hell also tune it correctly aswell, but thatll be close to £500 to have it done

    Yee that's pretty far from me too, and I don't wanna spend 500 on a map, is a cam and remap worth the money?

    on a vtr, imo NO...

    you could buy a vts engine and have it fitted for around or less than £600 and itll be alot quicker with the S gearbox

    Definitely ditch the Cherry bomb, go for something like a Supersprint of a Saxosport

    Fair enough I jumped the gun there. I forgot a few people are now running them on 8v.

    When i got mine there was a lot of people moaning about the lack of a 8v system, i confess i dont read many progress threads or spend much time in andys section of the forum so it appears im a bit behind the times.

    Apologies for my foolishness
