Cheers Carl! Whilst acceleration is not exactly my main concern here, what sort of 0-60 times we talking about with these 3 mods? Any idea?

0-60 is more a test of how well you can launch the car than the acceleration of the car.
EG - i could launch my car to 62mph in X time - Give the car to Jenson Button and he would do it quicker.
A rough rule of thumb is you knock 0.5 secs off for every 50bhp gained (obviously to a point as you would never be going back in time :grin:)

....Exactly. Professional racing driver Jonny Cocker drove my car up the Santa Pod 1/4-mile faster than I did.
It's not all about 0-60 times though, and not even about maxxing out the bhp. My advice is to go for a well balanced car with driveability. By taking it step by step you will learn what does what and also, very importantly, IF there are any issues they can be diagnosed and solved more easily.
