   no point going bodies tbh unless you will be doing most of the work yourself.... unless your minted
   
   i used to own a westie that was recorded on rolling road to have 94.8bhp and a good torque curve
   
   how much do you have to spend?

   £400? Won't get you anywhere really lol
   
   £100 for a forced(enclosed) induction kit
   £120 for a raceland manifold
   
   gives you £180 to play with to get a full system... good luck imo lol
