Frank Bullitt Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 you running standard twins or hybrids? For the costs involved with hybrids you might as well go single. I've just ordered a T62 with a billet wheel for less than a set of hybrids would cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Improve your driving skills reduce weight Hybrids are an utter waste of money from a performance point of view. They will give gains, but boy does it cost! If not done already a decent wheel/tyre choice along with a professional geometry setup will make almost as much gains the cars performance as BPU in terms of road usage. If you still want more power after that, then make sure you have at least £8k to spend to go to the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I take it you've got UK brakes as well ... Maybe have it all mapped to extract the max from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Looking at your spec, engine wise i'd say a set of cams (around 264 perhaps) and a piggyback ecu for piece of mind. As others have said though, tyres, geometry etc could all give you more satisfying gains. Haven't you only just taken delivery of your car from Jurgen?

johnny g Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yea, I just checked his Garage. I think a clutch will be on the shopping list very soon, if it's a stock one. None performance wise, I'd get some HID bulbs in your lights (for dipped and fogs) - they will aid night time driving no-end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Have read those words over and over when discussing gains: weight and geometry. Setting the geometry will help the car stick to the road and be most usable for all applications. You don't want camber, toe etc. to be all to whack when on twistys With regards to weight it's very simple in saying about power to weight ratio being so important. You could have a 2000bhp monster, but it won't be very quick if it weighs 20 tonnes! Hogmaw's post about driving skills is very important aswell. You can have all the power you like, but what is that without control? If you can't utilize it correctly, it's wasted and a pointless task to extract more and more power when it won't be adopted properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest exceed Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Get cams and then when you want to go single you have that extra to play with . And more revs is more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
