Uprated cams will give you more puff up top but don't the mivec have high lift already?

Yes, go for a set of kelford 272. A set of those and a good map and a true 3" exhaust will see you at 400/400 :)

With those mods and a decent remap you should be seeing over 400/400.
Would not want to push much more on a standard engine.

All depends what you use the car for i suppose .

Whats the chances I'm pushing 400 bhp now without the cams , as iv had it mapped on the road and haven't had it on the rollers to find out the power, but I was tolled it could be 400 ... Is this possible ?
