Are there any mods that will make my standard MCS feel more "free revving"? I find that the throttle response out of gear or with the clutch in, i.e. before moving and blipping on downchanges, is a little lethargic.

Cheers

Any mods already on your vehicle ?

Standard so far. I was thinking of putting a 15% pulley on though.

What I'm after is for the engine to feel like it's got a lighter flywheel, without the cost of that!

Lol @ cooper lad

You can try a lightened Crank pulley, less rotational mass = a more free revvving engine. and its cheap todo, also a 15% puley may help aswell, move booooost =)

Seriosuly a 4-1 high flow decat manifold should help alot!

but somehow im pretty sure he wants it to remain road legal ^_^, and imo less rotational mass will increase engine response massively compared an xtra few bhp and a non legal road car, and also a manifold and decat will be alot more expensive than an 8lb piece of circular alloy
