    Get it rolling roaded at Stealth racing, they'll charge about 90 and set up all the fuelling and timing, you should see around 150bhp.

    best 80 i ever spent on my car was at stealth :thumbup:

    cheapest 12bhp i'll ever get too

    Without head and cam work you're limited to the usual stuff like exhausts and manifold upgrades, though i seem to remember there being some debate on the effectiveness of ex manifolds.
