    And extractors, not sure on degree and lift for the Cams with stock valves..if you're going to run an aftermarket ecu look into silvertop or blacktop throttle bodies as well but Cams ecu extractors and throtlle bodies is about the limit for stock bolt on Mods

    265 is about the limit on the stock comp...will need something like an apexi safc

    stock bogport, get some 264 at no bigger than 8.5mm lift. this way you can still retain the factory valve train.
    with a stock ECU this will increase the mid to top end, and net you around 75rwkw

    get an programmable ECU some 264 or 272 at 8.5mm lift (toda, HKS, kelford, camtech take your pick) again still with standard valve train rev limit will be around 8000rpm with a good mid to top end. looking at around 80rwkw.

    throw some quads on it and it will increase response and increase power to about 85rwkw.

    all this i based on JUST a stock bigport, some other things like decent extractors and exhaust, lightweight flywheel, shorter diff ratio will also have an effect on peformance of the car

    Gotta agree with this...

    By the time you get ecu / cams / etc.. it'll probably be similar power to what the stock b/top puts out. Blacktop heads flow nicely too and don't really need to be ported etc.

    My preference would be some Twin carbs, with 27x cams and a good exhaust.

    Supporting mods and lift would depend on budget.
