A5 VRX 0 Posted August 27, 2014 Just looking for this info on this really, what the benefits are, what's needed and where to buy/who to go to plus I suppose the price of it all. Are there any downsides? thanks Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted August 27, 2014 Best person to talk to is Vince at Stealth racing in Southam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted August 27, 2014 Best person to talk to is Vince at Stealth racing in Southam My thoughts exactly but Derby is quite a way from banbury. However, that said, vince is meant to be one of the best VR6 remappers about & his tenacity to produce a fantastic job is second to none Having had 263's, a BMC & a vince special remap i can say the difference is beneficial. Power output tends to rise by approx 10% but power delivery & feeling under the go pedal is vastly improved :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

borachris 0 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I agree the forum search function can be tiresome lol Do you know you can use google to search a forum? Type the word/phrase you want to search then 'site:' then the forum address into google So type this into google 263 cams site:the-corrado.net and hit search Sorry if you knew how to do that already, a lot of people don't seem to know about it lol Edited August 27, 2014 by borachris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 28, 2014 If everyone only used the search to answer questions the forum would eventually fade out. We almost need to go through the forum and compile "Corrado - The ultimate Guide" Like when a member passes away or leaves the forum, all their knowledge is floating around somewhere on here, would be a shame to lose it all. I know we have the wiki thing, but a nice manual by the owners would be cool. I might start one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted August 28, 2014 Nicely volunteered :) People always have suggestions for this kind of thing to be done, but no-one ever actually wants to step forward and do it ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 28, 2014 Agreed on the search being schitt on here. 263 as a search term should bring back loads of results, but it returns absolutely nothing. Search for "263 cams" and you do get results. Bag o shyte. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 28, 2014 In a nutshell, some cars make very little extra power, some make about 20 extra hp and some 30 extra, but the average is around 210hp. Back in the day, you'd be lucky to get 215-220hp from the big 3 (Schrick 268, VGI & big throttle). Schimmel cams really are the jelly. Just don't use uprated springs with them as the iron quality is not as good as VW's / Schrick's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
