Yes, my TS is more powerful from stock. I still don't know exactly how much since fitting reprofiled cams until I have the car measured but it feels a lot more powerful than before the cams. I must also have the Unichip remapped first before even thinking of a RR session.

I have thought about the AD/Novitec longer 5th gear. I think that it is possible to fit a longer 5th gear from a 156 2.0TS gearbox. I've been told that it is easy to do without having to unmount the gearbox because the 5th gear is easily accessible from the side. On the other hand I prefer the crisp response of the short 5th gear even if it makes the car a little noisier and less economical on long journeys -I rarely do any anyway. I consider not having to downshift to 4th in order to overtake as an extra safety feature.
