Cheap mods will never, ever give you big power.

You have a xe, on the books its 150bhp, it will be old, tired & have lots of miles, it wont have 150bhp.

Best thing you can do is a full service, decent filter, decent manifold & system.

throttle bodies can be an arse to setup, cold start problems etc, not the best for an everyday car imho.

What problems did you have with a throttle bodied engine seth? Once set up they are fine. Its carbs that are a pain i thought? And a throttle body set up probably cost you best part of 2k mapped.

Nowt wrong with carbs. Depends how there set up. Mates used to be 2 pumps of throttle and away it went. Anotha mate has bike carbs, hold choke out for 10seconds and again off u go. Bettley if def serious bout a decent xe and not just an idea. Pop down. Work somethng out

Very rarely eg twin 40's have chokes so they can be an arse on a very cold day and a lot of inlet back firing is nice too.
