don't forget to get ARP rod bolts if you are increasing the rev limiter. I would also say cam, chip it and a decent exhaust system.

Keep your eye out on Migwebs classified as a set of cams can be picked up for around the 100-150 mark and around 100 for verniers. Then get the lot set up, then do tb's. This way you get decent progression without having to undo any work etc

I would recommend using AST1612 cams, i can do them reprofiled for about £220.
ARP rod bolts are always a wise choice.
Then chip.
