strait road at first, we started in second gear and he beeped 3 times then set off and his 2nd gear seamed to just last longer than mine and he just crept away.

You need a powerbox, 4-2-1 manifold and cat back exhaust to even keep up. If you want to pull away in every gear, get an XE.

An xe as in a 20XE...ie; redtop. Where are you from? Someone local may be able to fit one for the same amount it would cost you to fit all the mods to an XE and you'll still blow them into the weeds.

You're right. Powerbox, 4-2-1 and decat system BUT... You could get an XE fitted for buttons so you need to go into Regionals and post in there. You might get lucky.

Camming is changing your camshafts. Basically the cam is what controls your valves. The profile of your cam will open the valves for longer so a higher profile will increase the power. But it's not cheap. To get cams and set it up is at least £500 from a reputeable garage.

power box will add 15bhp
cat back will add 4 bhp?

Go to Rallydesign for a shortshift kit. No back seats will give you no power ffs But it will help your power to weight ratio.
