I have the following fitted to my UK300, so what do I do next that isn't gonna break the bank. Just engine stuff

PPP
Scorpion Exhaust
TSL resonator section
Quick shift
Forge Dump Valve
ITG air filter

Is there anything else that will give an increase in torque/bhp without spending thousands or buying a new motor ?

Change the manifold to a even length one, should get a good 20bhp

Question

Just quick question regarding the last entry - With the equal length manifold, you may gain power, but do you loose the "boxer note" coming from the exhaust?
Have heard that altered manifold alters sound??

I have read that you keep the boxer noise below 3000rpm but afterwards you get a motorbike growl

No... the boxer note goes. I certainly wouldn't get the manifold at this point.

If you haven't got a downpipe yet then i'd do that. Next thingy i'd get would be a remappable ecu (ECUtek 3 , Link etc). This will give you a building block for future work. Then i'd get a FMIC and turbo. At this point you'd need to be looking at uprating the injectors too (fuel pump should have been changed already.... at least on classics not sure for fuglies). I'd then consider the manifold. While doing this tho the clutch would need to be changed to cope (AP?) and you'd need to look at the suspension and brakes before any sort of big power increase.

Once you start you can't stop so i hope you've got deep pockets .
