I am looking to get my car mapped again soonish by Ed at Fusion, but want my cams dialled in which are currently set at 0.Basic spec is forged pistons, steel rods, head and crank studs, 1mm steel headgasket, mild p&p of head, double valve springs, rocker stoppers, tomei 260 cams everything lightened and balanced with a gt3071 and 3" exhaust from turbo back.I have PAR gearbox, one of STR motorsports gearbox collars strengthened clutch fork and helix heavy duty organic so should be ok for the power.Currently at 396bhp/350lbft at 1.45 bar.Aim is to run 1.8-2bar and get 450bhp/400lbft.Car currently goes ballistic at higher revs but I'd like more grunt lower down.
I know ideally it would be done at the same time as mapping, but also know its time consuming and Ed seems a bit reluctant to do it.I am not expecting massive gains from it, just want to move the powerband a bit lower down the revrange and get it boosting earlier.
A local guy can dial in the cams for me(used to work for John Nobles and worked on the Noble race engines too), reckons about 4 hours to do it which is about what I'd expected but is it just a waste of time doing it without mapping it at the same time or is it fine to do it this way and map after?
