   supersprint backbox.
   the money youd spend trying to get a vtr to vts power you could just get a vts conversion done...
   extra 20bhp straight away..
   higher rev limiter also..

   rallye inlet, fast road cam, good exhaust system, port and polish and induction and you will be on your way to 120

   it is not worth doing any work too a vtr engine the only reason i am working on my engine is because it has been cammed and had other bits and bobs best way to get the power is get a vts engine strip it down and rebuild it to a nice spec and then get a good map and your be looking at some really nice power
