Default Is More Power possible?

I am just in the process of having a 6 speed fitted to my uk classic. What i need to know is, can i get more power out of my vf35?
Currently its about 300/300 on the standard top mount and 440 injectors. I have a avcr and ecutek set up by zen. If i change to a front mount will i be able to get a bit more? I am saving for a 2.1 stroker but would like to do something for now to put me on and give me that little bit extra.

Any other ideas would be great.

Evening, I think I'm right in saying that around 330-340 is about as far as it is safe to go on a UK classic. I think this is more of a gearbox/clutch issue, however, as your changing this then maybe a little more, but not much. A front mount will help keep temps down, although I have been told the standard top mount should be good ok for this power level. I'm in the process of upgrading my UK MY99 and I am aiming for around 320-330 using the standard box.

I would of thought that a VF35 was capable of more power than you currently have. Did you upgrade your fuel pump to a Walbro?

Yes I did upgrade to a walbro. I think when my car was mapped I asked for it to be safe, thats why only 300/300.

That makes perfect sense then. Give Zen a bell and ask them to remap and be a little more daring. Take advice from them and you won't go far wrong. You can be assured that they will advise you the best and safest way forward. Obviously this will cost, but much cheaper than your first remap as you have already paid the license fee.
