That sounds good :broon:

My limit of mechanical knowledge is checking oil, water, washer bottle and tyre pressures

The 52mm thottle body adds about1BHP at the top end and makes the car less drivable at lower RPM. The induction kit is a good idea on Fs . The K+N 52i seems to get good reports, I would be scared of hydraulic lock though if installed as recommended. There are some pics of ported VVC heads on the famous DVA site. I have to say porting the head on a K series is an attractive mod.
