I wanna do some minor work to the engine of my car.

Thinking of new spark plugs, HT leads and some Kent Cams, as i wanna go sub 16 secs on the 1/4 mile.

Any recommendations on getting performance parts for the above list ie which ones to go for and where i can get these from
Cheers

dont bother with so called "performance" ones, just get some from Vauxhall, they use Bosch as standard anyway, its all good. If you are looking at re-profiling your cams, maybe you should think about your rev limit, and fitting stronger internals.

a 1.4 16v or 8v will not get a 15.x easily.... low 16's are reachable on cams with mapping etc

I wouldn't bother with cams on this engine until you've got throttle bodies.

You've already changed the inlet manifold, right?
