A chip is an expensive but easy way to get a major power gain. Go for it if you can afford it.
Make sure u got a boom boom cold air feed to the BFO, and if u got the money upgrade to a Viper.
Uprate spark leads, i cant think of much more lol

inlet manifold is the best way to go with the 1.4 16v, best power per pound! do a search for lexmaul, velo, manzel inlets

"Sports" spark plug leads is the biggest wind up and waste of money going!
On a little low power GM engine its gonna make fuck all difference, except to your wallet.
Go for a Lexmaul/Matzel inlet manifold.

leads make jack difference, standard ones are probably better than most so called performance leads anyway. Same with spark plugs.
A chip wont make a major difference on a standard engine, and only major difference on a tuned one is the rev limit.
Unichips are the way forward.
Inlet manifold replacement is a must, if I started again with one of these engines, I'd do the inlet manifold before an exhaust or filter.

Oh, and BHP = Fuel so you cant avoid fuel comsumption with a power increase.
