Default my series one cab whats next for power?

i dont want to turbo it as ill have to change over the insurance and uprate the brakes, tank, cooling etc etc
currant spec
2.1 zvh
kent cam, the best one there is below the one that doesnt idle
full magnex system
k-n panel filter
5th injector work at m.s.d
its about 150 bhp was before the 5th inj work anyhow minisport rollingroad
whats next and how much?
i do need to remove the rev limiter as it kicks in about 5300 and at top end the rev limiter kicks in before the car runs out of steam!!!!
thinkin about getting the head
gas flowed and ported but heards its really expensive?

Big valve head mate basically. Flowed and ported, decent cam and you should see a nice increase in power.

i cant turbo it as its still a 1.6 on the log book, and still insrued as a1.6 and if i get puilled it still looks like a 1.6! so sticking a big turb on it will be kinda compramise my insurance and log book and i may get in some trouble lol, at least no it still looks like a 1.6 even if it is 150bhp lol, plus i do like n/a power its a better buzz keepin up with or beating a turbo car!
