Turbo or NOS might be the answer.
It can only put it in simple words
I just 'need more power'!!!!!
its a money versus effort question isn't it!!!

How much have you got? How much do you want/need?
ha ha,
no money - but can put in a lot of effort!!!
You ALWAYS need another 50 bhp, whatever you've already got
Turbo or NOS might be the answer.
it just seems a shame to ditch the standard injection & ecu.
But i guess a megasquirt setup on throttle bodies would get me maybe 20-30hp more!!!

I think someone's been on the shandy 
You should have fitted a standard turbo motor to start with (VW, Nissan, Opel or Volvo T4)
Then another 30% or more is just a short Dyno session and maybe a new set of injectors away.
And it will be much more driveable (and economical on fuel when cruising) than a n/a motor with rumpety rumpety cams etc that anyway puts out less
power than the standard turbo motor did.
Loose weight in the car, it's FREE!! Then you will go quicker!
Or go on a diet if like me you're a fat bu**er

Not from someone who only registered a week and a half ago.
Plus, plenty of cheaper ways of getting 170bhp.

I am not too happy about this rumour that appears to be escalating about me being overweight!
he he he
overweight's a rumour hey???
there is only one reason why people build lightweight cars!!! You notice I went as far as cutting even the last couple of threads off all my
suspension bolts, to make it as lightweight as possible!! So Yes, I am whats more commonly known in my family as a FB, or after a large meal a BFB, or
when someone is annoyed at me a BUFB!!!

If the truth be known , far too many of the BEC fraternity are relying on a trade off of Lbs against HP.
I need to lose 3 stone I reckon that would be equal to a 40hp upgrade
We're not all fat! I'm just tall and weigh 14 st 6 lb. I could lose weight, but I'd look stupidly skinny. And I couldn't eat any
pies.
you wouldn't be as tall Si if you took those stupid high-heels off!!!
I'm not tall and still weigh around 15 and a half stone so I can't comment, but ReMan, you are virtually spot on, losing three stone
(yourself or from the car!) would be equivallant to roughly a 40ho increase!!!
Steve
Bloody hell! If I got down to a normal-ish weight I could forget about the turbo!
100bhp or pies .... hmmm that's a tough one

Why not use thinner bolts
Chapman raced his cars in the '50s with 1/4" bolts
