When is there gonna be another session?

Just had my cams done and a remap, so keen to see what it's like... my 8v (Mk3) now revs to 6500rpm+ with very little loss of low-end torque " ;D"

Lol, neither is mine, that will change in time though!

I do however like the drive of my 8 valve, i've owned both types and would deinately say the 8 valve is punchier lower down.
