More power for JCW

In what ways are there to develop a little more power for the JCW MINI S? I'm interested in just about anything that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks.

19% pulley, larger injectors, and GIAC re-mapping installed at Helix in Philly.
Big difference!

This belongs in R53 (1st Gen) section. A year from now it'll really confuse folks who are trying to pimp their R56 Turbo JCW.

He already has bigger injectors and doubtful that 19% is going to give much of anything more ... sigh

To the OP, READ THIS

You will quickly find the only way to get more real power is with a new head

Maybe someones just planning ahead?

That, or their just following the trend of some Gen 1 owners that spend the majority of their time posing in the 2nd Gen forums?

The Schrik cam isn't a good investment with the stock head. You'll be paying over $100 for each HP. Pony up to a big valve head to untap some real power.

Posting actual answers to this question isn't really helping our forum here, can a mod just move it over to Gen 1
