   Hey people
   
   Need some advice
   
   I have a vts engine with everything ready to go except for the loom which i will need spliced and a s box. Also will have to get a fuel return pipe.
   
   I also have a vtr piper bp 285 cam with springs as well and also have a new cambelt and head gasket.
   
   Now the question is which should i do?
   
   I can get either done??
   
   Vts advantages is its an instant 20bhp and it has a new mani
   
   Vtr advantages is its easier to do and i won't have to faff about with looms and my fuel won't be as worse as a s engine. And no insurance and tax change!
   
   So stuck ((
   
   Will be getting remap on either but with vts i will be getting newmans which is more money.
   
   Any help will be good.

   The vts gives you more potential for power in the future... But then as you said its more costly for tax/ fuel and insurance
   
   The vtr engine with the cam and once mapped will be pretty decent tbh stick a vts box on it aswell and that should keep you happy

   With the hassle of the 8v head coming off etc i would just drop the 16v in tbf.

   Tax won't change. You can put a v8 engine in and tax will remain the same.
   
   Vts is in a different league to a Vtr.

   Vts engine would still be better than a clammed vtr engine. Fuel consumption would be the same. Would be easier to cam the vtr but if you can I'd drop in the Vts lump
