UPDATE
Since now i have been holding back showing the final results of my rolling road session after fitting the RS2 manifold, for some strange reason my car has only produced 181.5 bhp (Fly) and 146 lbs torque (Fly) with 150 bhp at the wheels :S.
Previously i have carried out dyno runs after pretty much every modification at my local dyno dynamics rollers as shown below.

I must say being an honest folk that I found the whole JMS experience a bit of a roller-coaster ride with plenty of its ups and downs, i was disappointed with the results as i feel the acclaimed figures were slightly exaggerated as I was getting 10 bhp less than acclaimed. 10 bhp on a N/A engine is a hell of a lot of power to loose and the torque figures were less than a 3lbs than standard. As for the kit i looks the part and is well engineered and the time , money and effort has been well spent. Hats off to James and Tom top blokes and stayed late to get my car back on the road
Setting that aside i have decided to get in contact with David @ K-Tec regarding their new Cat Cam profile 5502
438, provisionally i have booked the cams to be fitted including cam belt and mapping on Friday 12th August. David is intrigued to find out how the cams perform with the RS2 manifold as he thinks the torque figures are affected due to the runner lengths of the manifold, but I have a feeling that the cams will produce more torque and bhp from what i have at the moment. These cams will produce in the region of 185 Bhp and 165 Lbs Torque on the standard cast aluminium manifold.
I'll keep you lot posted on any results and any future updates
