Default RIGHT WHAT TO DO NEXT !!!!

Ive just bought an 1986 rs turbo with the following things on already -

full mongoose exhaust system
bahjoo chip
k&n induction kit
31 actuator
dump valve
samco hoses
in car adjustable boost
pace alloy intercooler
grooved & drilled discs

i paid 400 quid for it with a knackered gearbox, ive done the gearbox and fitted a new clutch capable of withstanding up to 240 bhp

the question is what to do next cos i want more power

your opinions would be greatly recieved

id buy a stage 1 or 2 head with a cam, or just a cam at least

also if it just has the small pace interwarmer id upgrade to a FMIC

have a setup with some decent boost and it will fly

cam kit are normally about 250, fitting can be anything really, takes me about 2 hours to fit a full cam kit, its not a hard job, might be worth checking the car isnt cammed already by taking the dizzy off and having a look.

well its a hard choice nowdays, because Kent have had some problems ive heard and mine has worn after 9k, but im not slating them.

Pipers 285t2 cam is used alot on here with good results and should give a decent gain in power
