Ah yes, now I see. It is possible for small gains in a naturally aspired car but you may be sacrificing some safety/economy/reliability right? I was thinking of tweaking my Spider, but after the new spark plugs and air filter I think I'm at my limit. I don't want to wase hundreds of pounds killing my engine and only gaining a couple of BHP.

As a side note, I ordered a SuperChip brochure which happily told me I could get a large BHP increase by paying £300 for a chip. I knew something was fishy.
