thats one of those kits where the charge pipe goes over the engine iirc which will allow some heat soak from within the bay which will actually drop your power a little  :wink:

Will a decat give any noticable gains? I was told that on some cars a decat actually de-creased performance :S

about an extra 20lbft just by bolting it on to an already remapped car - bit more if you tweak the mapping (which is needed on cars with post cat sensors anyway for the lambda threshold)
