    Smile Engine re-map?

    Hi,ok I spoke to superchips about having a re-map on my 260,they tell me they could not get very good bhp gains, only about 4hp more, so therfore do not offer a superchip upgrade. ok can enyone tell me different? is there a company that do offer a re-map with decent bhp gains? cheers Mike.

    I have my doubts (else a lot of us would have already gone down that route?), but could be proven wrong!!

    Basically no

    Simple tuning agains are really the accufab throttle body & K&N, some have added cold air induction systems to this

    Other option is the Supercharger - simple (someone else does the work) but needs a bigger budget

    Pulley kits etc don't really gain much below 6000 rpm (not a recommended place to rev the standard engine to)

    sounds like Accufab, K&N and exhaust (XPowers etc) may be your best bet?

    How much extra horses are you after???
