all you really have to do is increase your rev limiter to about 7000rpm... but go for 7500rpm....
If your going non TB route... do this..
Mantzel inlet
Shrick 256/264 (with 264 you would need new pocketed pistons)
SBD or PMC Exhaust manifold
flowed head.... inlets matched
Unichip or MBE ecu etc
ARP conrod bolts
All that on a 1.4 and a hoky coky rev limit of 7.5 to 8.5k will see you around 130/140bhp (ala JR/MattC old spec)
i managed a 8.3 but that was with all the interior in it (leather and alcantara everything) is bloody heavy that car.
i reckon with all the shite of lost form the car it will knock o.4 secs of that time at a guess
