   1 VTS standard engine....
   
   £1000 to spend....
   
   What are the most efficient and best mods to buy to get this engine to perform well?

   Would have to be the usual suspects i would think:
   
   Enclosed filter, exhaust, cams and dastek re-map.

   takin into consideration that ur suppliers give u everythin trade....Enclosed filter (£180) , exhaust (full powerflow custom system = £250 (depending on what backbox/s u want), cams(£200), manifold(£230), de-cat (£50)...dunno if the change from this will get u a dastek remap ;o

   Wouldn't have powerflow, would have either GMC btb or magnex with decat.

   well if you want something out of the box i would definitley look into throttle boodies . can be money friendly , but will see a high gain in power , talking 130bhp's for 250 ;D

   ... So we are thinking:
   
   
   
   BMC enclosed
   BTB manifold
   Full exhaust system
   ecu remap (from janspeed)
   
   Cams and throttle bodies would be way over budget really...

   what about an ashley ehaust, i just fitted 1 to my vts , as i did not like the magnex and there is a deffenate differance between the 2 , i know ashley are mild steel, but i painted it and it should last a few year and the whole system inc decat was only £225, works great with my 4-1 , and procomp

    i bought the procomp second hand for a bargain £150 and it works great, was very impressed when i put that on, i know they do one for a vtr , which should fit the westcoast
