MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[procta]

So, castle combe showed some short comings with the MG. First and foremost was the lack of straight line power, with a car that weighs a full passenger less than a gti6 and with "160" bhp I really struggled to keep up. I've had quite a few people say to me it really doesn't feel like 160bhp and I agree feels more in the 130 range.
So it's getting rolling roaded at the Yorkshire meet to find out if it's in my head or somethings afoot. Somewhat hoping it is putting out a lot less because if this is it im not all that impressed, although the bwarp still puts a massive smile on my face.

However since this is beat a gti6 I'm going to need more than 160, the aim is reach 170 a modest increase but doable with some exhaust/induction work. Already watching a scorpion center section on eGay

Handling is also rather hilarious at the moment, while the nankangs are tough as tits and seem to have suffered no damage after two track sessions their grip is somewhat lacking with them preferring to slide and make noises rather than grip. So new tyres are a must for next time.
Been looking into polybushes for the front anti roll bar, I've read that mg used poly bushes as standard for the ZR but being rover it's no doubt no good.

Also considering selling up the front strut brace and getting a rear one instead, or maybe I'll see if I can get some time in the university labs to machine one up

the shell is at fault with that one steve,
