Some people are working on them, don't have names but I'm assured that the results of at least one attempt to remap a 111R with a programmable ECU should be available around Feb/Mar time.

Various discourse has been done on this subject on SELOC I believe, and maybe also on here, will be interesting to see what can be achieved. Not holding my breath though...

I know of a couple of guys behind the scenes working on a remap. Lotus have to comply with emmissions regs fuel and durability issues so I'd be surprised if it cannot be bettered in some way. I did some research and a few US tuners have lowered the cam switch over point but only really an option if it suits mods - typically manifolds etc. Even then most only did it by 200-500rpm. There are uprated cams but they don't do anything to radical.... bit over 200bhp.

Save your money for now and await the results
