and would it really be necessary to upgrade the cams? don't they last until about 500hp anyway? and the ecu. do you know anything about the cost of that? couple of grand, right?

oops. sorry. close to 200kw. better?

fitting a bigger cam means there is more time for air to get into the combustion chamber. more air=more power. just to see if i have the once sentence right.. only upgrade a ecu when your close to 500hp?? you can change the ecu on a stock car. they can map it in the way you want. performance or fuel consumption. your building a n/a car. so you need to get power from any place you can. n/a cars are more expensive to get to the same power as turbo cars. but they say in the end when you do get there.. it was all worth it.. but i dont know about that. im a turbo person. with a little hint of nos
