   alltech is where i bought my car when they used to have the car sales place there lol!
   
   its where the old pub got shut down and the tyre place was on the cross roads correct??
   
   Ive not spoken to them personally about a remap, so dont know what they class as one.
   
   you need a rolling road to do a proper remap and i heard a rumour they did have one though.

   they need to have a rolling road really to map the car on the rollers, a remap is usually 400-500 from most places like wayne at chipwizards.

   I have the following mods....
   
   
   green filter
   janspeed 4-2-1
   decat
   scorpion cat back 3.5" inwards rolled
   and a remap with raised revs to 7800ish
   
   
   would I notice the differance if I had a set of cams?

   yes as you dont need a raised limit on standard cams due to the range of standard cams powerband.

    You'd need a new remap though. So witht he price of cams fitting and remap your looking at about £1000.
