Just look at the first page of this thread for opinions.

raising fuel pressure is great.  however, if the fuel pressure is too high, this can affect the injector opening, which can be bad.

Turbocharged cars are reliable.  crap engine (c20let) / badly looked after / asking the engine to do something it wasnt ever designed to do with out changing the parts needed and its gonna end in tears.

Plus a turbo'd car allowed 100% VE - not many N/A cars can do this.

and why would you want to drift on a track?  unless you're into drifting, then its pointless, especially as most tracks dont like you doing it, and to make progress you need to be going in a straight line.

I had a 3.0 Elite Auto myself - i was going to plough £3k into it, but at the end of the day, it was never going to produce the power i wanted.  

Moral to the story - want a fast car, start with a fast car in the first place.

The Omega is good at what it does.  its an exec car.

Cams, Chip, decent air filter and a free flowing exhaust will add some benefits, even with the manifold restriction.

I still hold aspirations of manufacturing some tubular manifolds for one - perhaps when we get a unit / more development time we will, however, as is often the case, they wont be cheap, so not many will will sold.  ::)

i have in the past tuned a V6 2.5 although it was in a FWD form.

3.0 cams, 4 bar FPR that had been set up to reduce the flat spot, high pressure fuel pump, enlarged throttle body, XE flywheel, decatted and stainless exhaust system, chipped ECU.

Last time it ran i was pushing out 202bhp, it has now run 4 runs and 200bhp is the average, well 199.7bhp, but for the time and money invested it was money well spent.

Torque was up as well.

Yes i know that is 3.0 terratory and i could have got there by lobbing in a 3.0, but that's not where the fun was
