Im not overly familiar with the ford engines, but id say the next thing you should be looking at would be exhaust manifolds / inlet manifolds?
Is theyre any inlets that will fit of a larger model CC?...or any 4.2.1 manifolds avaliable for the engine?

you wouldn't gain much because the 130bhps are the big inlets im getting a 4-2-1 manifold next week i was thinking ported polished head and a remap i should see bit of power i have to watch the sound level of the exhaust because its a track car and they have strict db restrictions

yeah, well id say youve got the basics, so maybe try and get a second hand set of cams and a basic remap to tie it all in? ...should be enough with your limit?

I'd say swap the inlet to throttle bodies with Webber twin carbs, and some second hand cams and pulleys. Smile

u mean stick jenvys throttle bodies on or a set of webber carbs Wink

throttle bodies are a different thing 2 carbs. bodies use injectors on the inlet maifold, where as carbs use jets and need constand tweaking here and ther, bodies u can jst use standalone Smile
