    If it's for road, don't put too agressive cams. Put road cams. You can easily have 150-160 horsepower (with a reprogrammation off course!)

    With 261° 9.35mm Catcams, Green induction, full exhaust sytem and a very good management, you can get 150hp with 170nm
    And it's totaly confortable on road with soft driving


    You can get more HP with 280° but the engine will be empty at low RPM :/ All power at more than 4500rpm... and the engine idle will be a little high.

    Thats what my engine is like. 165hp idles anywhere inbetween 1100 and 1500.
    Sometimes once its warmed up it struggles to idle at all unless you keep your foot on the pedal a bit or it stalls which is annoying.
    Power kicks in around 4000rpm

    sounds like you need bigger injectors to stop under idle
