Vts/106 xsi gear box. Will make a noticable difference to acceleration.

Single cam on a vtr.
285 profile is best suited to standard inlet/pistons. With a decent exhaust manifold, system, airfilter - add a cam with decent valve springs and vernier pulley, get a remap your looking at 120bhpish, maybe more maybe less.
VTS gear box has a taller final drive. Better aceleration yet reduced actual speed at rpm.
Xsi box has a even taller final drive.

Other way round - shorter boxes, higher rpm at speed!
Upgrade your brakes?
Strip the car lightweight wheels - power to weight is where its at!

By taller i mean higher. The higher the number of the final drive, the shorter the ratios

I wouldnt bother with any engine mods on a vtr, i'd fit bigger brakes and better suspension - that way if you upgrade to a vts you can take them with you, or revert to standard if you sell up and move on.

Always remember that there will come a point when modding the VTR (unless you specifically want 8v supercharged power) where it will be better to just buy a VTS if you can afford the insurance mate. Even a mildly cammed vtr will struggle to hit the 60 dash quicker than vts, and certainly the 0-100mph times.

could maybe get some head work depending on the budget youve got

Why mod a VTR. Your gona spend money on cam, exhaust, induction and a remap for 130bhp. Why not sell and buy a vts get some breathing mods and have 130bhp.
