    I take it you're not declaring these mods to the insurance then?

    Well the best thing you can do after the simple breathing mods such as

    Airfilter
    Manifold
    DeCat - Dont forget its gota go back in for MoT time
    Sports Exhaust

    Is forget the cams, throttle bodies, remaps etc is to strip the interior to reduce weight. By doing this you increase the cars power to weight ratio, which inturn improves handling, acceleration and braking perfomance.

    Other good imporvements will be seen by the best tyres you can afford and a uprated clutch.

    All the power in the world is no good to anybody if you cant put in down on the tarmac!
