Depends how deep your pockets are! Can get REALLY expensive!
Spend say £3k and you might get 250/280bhp???
Dunno go do the research.

I think it is around 220bhp without forced induction.
Wait for Glen(Ess-Three) to appear, he will be able to give you more detailed info.

It would be cheaper to go the forced route.

You'd want cams, ported and polished head and throttle body, Shrick manifold, then you would want proper induction and exhaust. That will cost around 2.5k at least second hand..

The reason i choose CAT 256 cams is becuase i prefer high torque and future if i want to turbo or supercharge my vr6 i can still use this cams
