| A remap is possible - won't necessarily increase bhp that much, but could remove flat spots and that. Induction and exhaust can be changed for stuff less restrictive - again, relatively small bhp gains, but it'll allow the engine to work better. Race cams are an option - not especially expensive, but can see better gains in bhp. Can change the way the car drives, which might turn out to be a bad thing... Then there's all the expensive stuff like polished engine internals and that. Probably someone out there will do a supercharger/turbocharger kit for the engine, but again will be relatively expensive... Rob.

| Other option is to put the car on a diet and remove any unwanted trim/seats  Chris
