103mph is fast enough anyway for now until you fit the 200 brake nitrous kit from the aa

Aftermarket inlet's are good but you will lose the nice growl that the engines make and the power band is definately different than that of a standard engine

well an aftermarket inlet won't help you there, it helps more at top end revs

Exhaust manifold? - I don't have one personally, but I hear that they are good for lower down rpm

People will probably advise you to put either a 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0 engine in tbh
