Series 2 What to upgrade next?
Hello!
I have a series 2 cabby (got it 3 months ago) runs well, no smoke, rattles or bangs and use no oil, only prob is starting from cold needs a few more turns that it should but i'm guessing a new cold start injector would sort that out.
Anyway i'm wanting to know what to upgrade next for a few more horses, currently it has:
K&N induction
Scorpion Stainless exhaust
Bailey Dump valve
The boost gauge says i'm running about 14psi when accelerating hard and holds steady through every gear. Am i right in saying that to be running that much boost the actuator has also been changed?
I have a Cossy rear disc conversion with Goodridge hoses all round so plenty of stopping power! There are also plenty of cosmetic mods, body kit, wheels etc. But i'm just interested in getting the most out of the engine without making it unreliable, so dont want to do anything to drastic.
I was thinking, chip it and Kent cams?
Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated!
I've not had it on the RR so have no idea what it's putting out or what to expect.
Thanks!
Karlos.

If it's running more than 10psi then it will be chipped id get a good FMIC and a -31 actuator get rid of the k&n induction kit and put a standard airbox on with a k&n panel filter in and have it set up on the RR

k&n induction kits suck in hot air from the engine bay which is not a good thing putting the standard airbox on with a k&n panel filter will cut out alot of the hot air and be alot better for performance
