wild is aimed at those who use all the revs, all the time, or those with other mods such as bbtb etc to gain the best from them

the mild is aimed at the more std car, and the driver that craves more ridrange torque than outright Bhp

HTH, get those orders in :twisted:

if neither case applies, anything within reason can be catered for, no silly rev limits though(7K +), bad idea on a high miles 20 yr old engine :lol:

I'd go mild all day long, but I prefer torque and midrange over flat out caning.

not sayingt the milder chip wont let it rev out, it does , but the delivery is fatter in the midrange, torque is earlier and maintained for longer

For a direct opinion on the mild, try Cotty180 and D9LPH amongst others

either is a good choice, mild outsells wild about 3-1 thopugh

Both can be altered to suit later mods as and when required.

the early cars are in a league of their own Jon, the extra compression helps a lot with the delivery, and you can have a nice top end rush too, all good then- pleased to hear it.
