heads are different on the 1.4 and 1.6
putting a 1.6 bottom end on would make it a x16xel
for the 1.4 i would go for exhaust, panel filter, inlet and short shift
should see 110 bhp from those

its already got, 4-2-1 manifold, sports cat, and exhaust system, panel filter, uprated ht leads.
was thinking cams and inlet? worth putting a 1.6 bottom end on or not with the amount of work?

if you put a 1.6 bottom end in send the head off to be gas flowed and it will be closer to a 16xe then.. inlet is a must but realy does warrent a mapping with rased rev limit and arp con rod bolts to be at its best
