The SBD fast road manifold is good for about 190bhp and costs 254 quid delivered, after that you need the dearer one, not sure how much that one is but wouldnt expect to see much change from 400 quid.!!

you cant go too far on the std pistons,
i tried 285's and blew my engine twice, fucked piston, valves, valve guides.
so wouldnt recommend going any further than a fast road cam(which is what i take it youve got ) on std pistons
