   it would be better in the long run to either sell and buy a vts or get a conversion ,

   if you fit correct cam + choose correct h/gasket = change vlave springs at same time + 4-1 manifold ,dumping the cat you will get around +15 bhp --after that it cost lots to get much more -it wil make a very nce all round car ,but never be as quick as a tuned vts .
   check price of my piper manifolds --before you get one elswhere i will not be beat on price
