Default increasing torque

How can i increase torque with the mods i already have? do you think a set of gt spec headers would give me torque. Loving the 18g,, would like to get the torque up though.. mapped @ 1.4 bar.

yes headers will increase torque, but you may loose some rpm on spool up

Look at my graph in my plus profile.
I have Tracktive GT Spec II replica headers and up pipe, ceramic coated.
It aint worth the extra expense as our graphs are nearly the same.

Hello mate. im having mine remapped on the 22nd. just put some rogerclark tubular headers on today(havent tested yet as havent finished fully, dam early nights)with 3 bolt matching up pipe.
Mapping mine with E85 as my local morrisons stocks it on tap. I can let you know how different it feels after if you like to compare first.
im running 361/322 with ported headers at moment(view profile for full spec)
im changing only headers and E85 so im interested to see gains
