Powerbox, Cams, Exhaust. Might just see it over 100bhp.

Otherwise TB's, Bike carbs etc, with management for the coilpack.

A powerbox should see you cleanly past 100bhp IMO.

CP's old engine was a highly tuned 1400 16v if you want inspiration. You could always add a turbo also. Possibly the best 'road tax band' scam you could dodge in a Nova, getting max available bhp in the under 1400cc tax bracket.

Dont just concentrate on power though. A car with proper suspension setup & a diff would be quicker through an interesting road than a car with 15-20bhp more.
