	http://www.novaload.net/forum/showthread.php?t=46466 link to thread telling you all you need. iv got the nova sr cams and 1.4 throttle body on mine at the moment and there is a noticable difference feels like it wants to move now (if that makes any sense) 50 to 60 in 5th seems to pull a bit better than it used to. sounds nicer aswell nice burble when at idle. will be getting sri manifold (or sportex 4-2-1) and decat i think next.

	Can get a nova sr cam for about £10/£15.

	How much you looking at for cams etc?

It is worth it if you find the parts cheap. Dont forget tho on a corsa if you remove the cat, you will get problems come MOT time, and fitting a 1.4 injector will push emissions up too

	its easier to drop a 1.4 in than start stripping down a 1.2 to put cams n things in

	If theres alot of work involved then I wouldnt bother tbh

	just dont bother its not worth it. drop a 1.4 8v in if u want a bit more power and its easier that messing with throttle bodies and cams.

	Whats the scoop with the diff cams, throttle body etc? Anyone got a thread on this, wanting to have a wee tinker with my engine, but if its alot of work im not going to bother.
