How do I get my car to do better lap times?
Has anyone got these:
Kent cams from Rimmer

I note that Rob has used Lotus cams in Project Shed
I suspect a 52 mm throttle body and a K&N air filter might also improve the breathing.
OR
I still have the 135 PS cams and plug top coils from the block/head/valve springs that's in the car, but that means a 135 CPU with wiring harness and replacing the
matching alarm system and reprogram the key fobs???
8 years ago I went in the direction of detuning the 135 to a 120PS to use the CPU I have in the car, perhaps it's time to undo that process
and have 135PS under my right foot.
Bolt on engine performance 120PS non VVC engine

Hi Rob
No really secret source on this, but yes, I have used Lotus Sport/ MGTF135 cams, 52mm throttlebody, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, aftermarket exhaust - and if you fancy, a sports catalyst. You can also tweak the ignition timing and fuel trim in MEMS1.9 to get another 4-5bhp... I've got my two MGF 120 up to around 140bhp...
