cams wouldnt make a difference to the fuelling, so it would cost the same to run (or thereabouts)

how do you make an engine more powerful without using more air and fuel?

my car has no engine now.... but when i first got it, it was a 1.4

with a Lexmaul inlet, 4 branch manifold, decat and full system, it made 105bhp

with a remap on top of that, it made 116bhp

my next mod with that spec would be to buy a c16xe and rebuild it. fit the mods to that and get 125+ bhp. cams and a chip will set you back £700+

an old c16xe will cost £200ish and take your time to rebuild it.

cams are pointless without a remap in my opinion.

My old 1.4 ran like a bag shit without a remap.
