   Is it a worthwhile mod or it best to save up and get something else?

    I will do some asking around, to see how many we need to buy, and what discounts we can get.

    Good man, I'm pretty sure SSC had a group buy on Cat cams so I cant see why they would be up for it again.
    
    I cant see us gettting a group buy on the remap though as your paying for someones expertise/time that much harder to quantify or arrange.

    If we get in touch with them they might do us a discount on a little performance package
    
    I'm guessing all this has to be squared woth the big dogs becuase if anything goes wrong its not going to do anyone any favours.

    Bargain!
    
    I cant see many people signing up to £800's worth of stuff at least with the cams your looking at the £200 mark which is alot easier to get your hands on.
    
    I'll drop a few emails about the cams and see what they come back with, its always worth a try.

    btw, just by fitting them parts in the kits from hiflow heads wont give you 160hp. to achieve that you would need te car mapped.

    tbh, you dont need all that stuff to get 160bhp.
    comp cam belt?? why?
    fse boost valve??? why??
    
    a lot of cars with usuall breathing mods + 708s + remap see 155-160hp.
