Get a 7500 rev limit as you have ARP's as insurance. Mantzels are a waste without a raise rev limit, dont fall into the pit of being happy with something that can be much better.

Lee Mannings old Corsa had less mods than yours and I think it was down to being set up well and the raise rev limit used to give Valvers a hard time

how sad!!! i didnt even say it would make 160bhp, i said by what i have seen other engine makes it should make between 150-160bhp... i would assume right as he said it made 142bhp and the power was still rissing when it hit the limiter, with it set up properly and rev limiter raised it might even hit the 150bhp+ mark, showing that you shouldn't TAKE THE PISS, cuz you clearly dont know what your on about...

the unichip itself cant raise the rev limit, all it does pretty much is fool the ecu into thinking its doing one thing when its actually not.....

You will need the Unichip to map the fueliing etc so the car runs better which is key to a quick car, but a raised rev limit using something like a superchip as well will be advantagous

I was going to say Matt an omex would make better sense, just rember a few cars in the past running a Unichip and superchip

Forgot abut them too, I'd go for a Gotech on how reasonably priced they are and how packed of features it has. Results on Brosters and Nicks RST are brilliant
