Improve your driving skills

 

reduce weight

 

:thumbs:

 

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.

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?

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 :)
