Dblilas, stay away from it, doesn't work at all well on the redtop.s
Powerzone head n cams, - to be honest, you can get better stuff and better head work done if you look around at the specialist vauxhall tuning companies. Best off asking on Mig for that one.
Lexmaul manifold, gain power, but loose torque. Personnally, i wouldn't bother going for one, u might as well just save up for throttle bodies.
Superchip, again, cheap chip to raise the limiter, may sort fueling out, but i dont think they really work well on the redtops.
AS for air filter, if you can afford a decent sealed unit, go for one. Don't get an open induction kit as they work pants on the engines. If you can manage to keep an airbox and drill it, works very very well and could see youself into the 160bph region with just that and a zorst.

Find one person who can do it all, and f*** supershitz. Find one person who tuning is their life, they will do it to a standard and it will all match.
Buying everything from different places when working inside the engine is not good.

OK cool.
Would either Regal or Courtney be able to sort this type of thing out?? I guess they can but how much would they charge roughly for this type of work???

I've heard some horror stories about Regal and Courtney seemed very expensive when I asked them to quote some work on my old Corsa.
Heard good things about Cossvaux and SBD though.

As far as inlet manifold goes this is what the dbilas stuff is but as daimo says go for Sbd throttle bodies if you can afford it.
Nice exhaust manifold decent degree cam like Ak's selling, exhaust manifold and stand alone management like DTA or something.
You could also look at head work yes or oversized pistons (again AK has done this) depends how drivable you want it as to what you do to it.
Look at wwww.sbdev.co.uk they know alot about redtops

End of the day fella, it all depends on how much money you want to spend on it.
