    People on here spend close to £100 on an induction kit for minimal gains. I say the best thing to do first is decat it.
    btw, there are loads of power threads if you search....

    dont always need more power to make them faster mate, pound for pound to make its "faster" would be stripp it down and change the gearbox, will give u better 0-60 bit less top end depending on the box, but i guess your after better 0-60...

    also u say money aint an issue. turbo supercharge it? 3000/4000£ onwards...

    Supersprint 4-2-1 manifold and the 2" race system (Decat), coupled with the Raceland induction kit with green filter. Kam Racing say people have gained upto 12bhp on the exhuast system alone, and other say 3-4bhp on the Raceland so you could be lucky and gain around 16bhp

    vts engine. can get one for £250 if you look around, then sell your vtr engine for £100 and its cost less than a full system for 20-30bhp

    The VTR responds well if you bin the complete standard exhaust system
