to run the more aggressive cams i'm about to recommend (30/72 - 72/30) and individual throttles with inlet runners in the vicinity of 450mm long and 20mm Ø internally.

Have you tried to get cams for these engines? a) bloody expensive even for a re-grind and b) hardly anyone does them! Then there's getting them timing right, which again is an expensive excerise due to the sissor gears, shims? had to get these made too!!.. this all alone is going to set him back over $2000. A Conversion works out cheaper than changing cams, and we haven't even got to the throttle setup....

And if any one has already done this to a AE112R contact me

how about a couple of AE102's?? One streeter and one a Grp A rally vehicle, very much the same car.
We'll your not after a fire beathing bush basher AKA my GrpA, so forget the top part in regards to Cams etc. Best mod's for street on budget were as follows:
1. A/Filter ($100)
2. Extractors ($600)
These two alone allow the engine to breath and rev a bit freer.
3. Supension- I ran Koni reds ($600 for four) Lowered 2" strut brace (Springs- $500 brace-$150)
4. Wheels and tyres (I ran 16/205/45)
It was in this form I won the NSW S/Sprint series in '98 For class 2C with a daily driven AE102, though I must say handling not bucket loads of power... this all made it a 'fun car' to drive and had many funny disputes with stewards...
Then after this we looked at:
5. Replace the rest of the exhaust, Cats are quite good in flow respect, or replace it you 'feel like it, but they do produce SFA power different if you do change it or even gut it out.
6. headwork ($600-1000) depending on what you want.
7. Anything else you may think of... we went A/Market ECU,Kmac camber kits ($95 for two), I sold this car.
