I don't have roller cam or rockers unfortunately

But I do have solid lifters with adjustable rods

I got mini cooper S injectors on route
More than enough flow for me with German tech

Im building my own Ecu in kit form to keep me busy in the week, and more importantly to learn more about it

Don't wish to state the obvious but it all comes down to ££££££££... Also depends to an extent on if you're looking to upgrade over a period of time, or if you have a few grand to spend in one hit... I'd also suggest it would be worth a proper health check on the engine, for example some camshafts can wear relatively early (mine had started to go at 32k), so it wouldn't make sense to start with say induction mods without checking the basics first... I'd also suggest a RR session would be money well spent, gives you a benchmark to work from...
