Okay i'll pull out only the relevant info on this thread lol

8v tuning = Port Throttle Body,Smooth air box + performance filter, Cat back exhaust sytem, Cam, Lower final Drive gear box and then a remap, added with a decent suspension setup.

Try picking up a 16v and do the above to it, gains will be better. Of course only if you can sell the 8v and pick up a 16v for the same price or less!  :laugh:

Pointless arguing about nothing that doesn't make sense can be found here...

Khare also said an 8v on decent shocks will beat a 16v on the track.  :drool:

No, he actually said "a good handling 8v with decent brakes will outperform a standard 16v around the track."

amounts to the same doesnt it?

No, because that would mean the handling of the 8v would be modified. For the exact same cost you could do that to a 16v which would make it out perform a modified 8v.
why are you argueing with me? I just pointed out what Khare said. And that was pointed out earlier. You referred to khare having an 16valver over an 8v, I referred to him saying about an an 8v with good handling and decent brakes(ie not standard) would beat a standard 16v round the track. And thats presicesly what he said, So you aint making sense.  :kiss:
