do people advise against re-grinds? if so why? seems a cost effective way of gaining horses to me. Buy a set of cams send them to be done then drop them in come cambelt time :)

Lack of power before 5k is normal :) RStuner will help alleviate this, but as far as im concerned when im driving the clio im either driving it fast!! or driving it slow there kinda isnt much in between.
My pet hate about my clio is putting my foot down at low revs in second and nothing...
hmm yea to be honest its guna be tough to not rag a car that only makes power towards the end of the rev range!!
But obviously there is driving it.. and ragging it i spose, i drive mine pretty hard but i drive like a granny until its warmed up.
Ive been holding onto an idea for a while now and i'll be honest i'd do it myself if i had the balls but..
Just imagine pulling up to a petrol station in your brand new whip, everyones already looking and women are arleady wet coz they've seen the spoiler but wait.. whats this?? POW you only...
Classic example of newtons third law of tuning, every action has an equal and opposite reaction ergo the spoiler turn negativity into a viable form of propulsion.
That spoilers good for a 40bhp at the wheels increase atleast!!
July 7th/8th 1984SPR. The Cannonball. Sammy Miller ran an amazing 3.583/386.26 in the Vanishing Point rocket funny car. This still stands today as the quickest 1/4 mile pass ever on a dragstrip anywhere in the world.
P.s. Not arguing with Fred :P
Haha i remembered having a conversation ages ago and this bloke didnt believe me that a car could do the 1/4 of a mile in under 4 seconds :P
Dont get me wrong it barely sounds believable but it happened soooo :P
Just thought i'd post this as i was driving to work today and got reminded of it, sammy miller does the fastest 1/4 mile run that man will ever see!! he said after a run blood use to pour out of his ears and nose!! and by the time he had put his foot to the floor he had to hit the brakes :S...
