I have Inlet box, 4-1 manifold, full 2.25 system,de-cat, mild kent cams.
And it made 127bhp. (which is quite nippy in a nova, ive passed quite a few quick cars on track days in mine....  )
Best mod by far was the inlet box. And it was the cheapest,lol

get a power box from flame! these engines are restricted from their inlet manifolds from factory, a power box derestricts the engine fuk the pannel filter rubbish u aint gonna get more power from a panel pilter, will just fell better from a new filter lol.
power box, 2.0 injectors and a remap!

2 litre injectors won't give you any more power than the 1.6 ones but there is less chance of them maxing out, if you do some other mods.

i think the cream ones from a redtop.
i dout they increase performance they will just add more fuel, you will also need to get a fpr and a remap

You wont go wrong with that mate. Raised rev limit and apr rod bolts would also be good.
Pritty much what mine will be.
And the mantzel inlet or any other is a great mod. Does add bhp and better torque. Well worth the momey and the 6 hours it took me to fit it

Your Nova will be very nippy with that spec. You'll be looking at about 135 bhp with that.
As for your Injectors, i'm going for these. They are standard ones but they have been cleaned. The standard ones are good for about 170 bhp.

I'd look into getting some 2.0L brakes with some braided goodridge hoses too.
The 2.0L discs are 256mm x 24mm.
I've got Brembo discs and RedStuff pads. I can almost do an endo
