Ditch the inlet and run throttle bodies and management.

That's really the only way to go if your after more power. Not really much can be done after an inlet except cams and management.

Yeah i had a look on the piper website after reading this months total vauxhall im sure the kit was 770 without the pulleys so quite expensive, im sure the next step will be thou. Any other stuff apart from cams?

Depends how deep your wallet is as tuning a small block can be expensive.
As a base with itb's about 150bhp then start adding other stuff on from that.

That's why most people just go straight with a c20xe as its cheaper. But there is no fun in that and the sound of bodies will have you hooked.

If your running a c16xe with the original inlet, then yes you will have to change the inlet manfold to an x16xe one.

How about fit a power box to gain more top end power, light weight flywheel and pulleys? Cams and a unichip.
