might be able to do it yourself cheaper with a 19 throttle body adaptor.

Cost per bhp gain thats actually cheap. (£26p/bhp) [Based on £180: £36 p/bhp]

For example:

S/s exhaust with decat: 5bhp, £300: £60p/bhp

Cams and pulley's (forgetting remap): Cams £400 + £200 Pulleys with exagerated guess of 15bhp: £40 p/bhp

Remap: Say £400 with possible gains upto 10bhp: £40 p/bhp.

Headwork: Full porting with triple edge valve seats etc: £750 gains(?) say 15bhp: £50 p/bhp.

I dont have much of a clue with regards to gains but i think it would be fair to say my estimates are more than conservative! I did this in an effort to make gains as cheap as poss but as you can see they are no-where near the above.
