I believe a simple vernier pulley on the exhaust cam can see up to 10bhp increase due to the engine being de-tuned for emissions.
If you speak to Dave Colledge at Retro Ford he will be able to give you more information on this mod as he's done it on a couple of his customers cars and he may even stock the pulley.

TBH the biggest gain for your money is Nos. There very little power to be found from the ST170 engine with the money you have to spend. Most modified ST170's are struggling to make more than 185bhp ![Sad](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
I would look into a 25bhp nos kit if it was my money
