    Poor braking when at high speeds :(

    If you Calipers are old you could have sticking pistons/slide pins.....Best bet would be to get it looked at or if you know what your doing pull the calipers apart and check em out..I had seized slide pins on mine, the brakes still worked but very poorly..Rebuilt the calipers and it made a huge...

    car sound muffler

    Go for a Cat Back as Morton Said...They are under 500 at most joints....If you want it loud enough to annoy non petrol heads then you can get a system with the rear muffler removed...But you do give the blue light disco something to hassle you about..

    MSD Ignition

    MSD will give you a much stronger and constant spark....Makes sense with the mods you have to take care of the ignition side of things...all depends on how deep your pockets are.

    brakes, and perhaps doing things i shouldnt

    Its a great to see someone even considering this as a option, regardless of the fact that it would probably never happen, unless you win lotto. Would definatly make a one of a kind VN. Isn't all the technology that are being built in the road cars today banned from almost any form of auto sport...
