if it needs to pass a REAL mot test then do not go any wilder than fast road cams with the t/bodies .
bhp should be around 160-170 tops @fly.
cma choices are piper 285h ,cat 708 ,newman ph3 all £300 inc vat or more
or you could go for our own version made on new blanks for £240 inc vat
also check our t/bodies --best value to be had --

there will be a price rise when current stock is gone of £150 per set

On a budget then have a search into sandys tb set ups using bike bodies, espec if you want to run long trumpets without the bodies aiming at the brake bar.

Cat Cams use the best castings. 1312708 (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-engine/camshafts/citroen-saxo-vts-fast-road-camshafts-cat-cams-1321708.html) are plenty enough for a road car.

Both GMC and Sandy do nice throttlebody kits. Theres plenty discussed on the pros and cons of both.

It's physically quite a substantial change and initial outlay is high, but using the right kit, install is pretty easy and noticeable improvements in power, responsiveness and of course induction noise make it worthwhile, even on a standard engine; the kit design and setting up are crucial to this though, not all kits will show benefits and not all firms seem able to set it all up well!
