Make your mind up, if you want to feel any difference then you need to get increases of 30 - 50 bhp

Fuck all, unless you buy a decent programmable ignition. Then you will need to spend about a grand.

There is no such thing as cheap horsepower. It costs money to tune an engine. Fact!

have you tried striping the breather system n uncloging all the hoses xe's suffer from this problem plus killing the power when flooring it round bend it doesnt cost you nothing to give it a good clean out and then also the is a splash proof plats that fits in the top of your rocker cover they arnt a lot of pennies but i mod well worth doing in my book as like i say its a common problem on xe engines

Strip it out mate, it'll feel quicker, brake quicker etc and it's free :)

If your going to do anyting 'cheap' id just get a decent exhaust manifold and system made up with a decat. Stick an enclosed filter on it as the open ones will hinder the car at low RPM due to heatsoak.

Get a LET then. To get anything near 190bhp you will need to spend a grand on the engine. There is no such thing as cheap horsepower. You get what you pay for.
