Extractors, cat-back exhaust with good mufflers, advance timing to 14-15degrees base, cold air intake (don't just stick a pod filter on somewhere and call it done) then run it on 98RON, after that I wouldn't bother but next step would be a reground cam if you're that keen, but really, bang for buck is turbo. Can gets kits 'complete' for usually around $700 - $800 on eBay and forums, cheaper if you use china manifold/turbo etc. Expect to buy extra parts even from 'complete' kits such as oil/water drain/feed lines, banjo bolts, dump/front pipe etc.

building an engine doesnt happen overnight, but an engine and do it right, unless your swimming in cash that will take up alot of the 2 years, then get the VL looking and handling well, and some decent brakes, VL's have **** brakes (well all 7 of my vl's did even with disc rear)

Are u using the brake fluid and don't have the car running when ya bleed the brakes use ya foot muscles

if you are real keen you could rip the cylinder head off and get some port work done. Usually livens these things up a bit, will cost you reasonable $$ though for a decent job though. But it won't be wasted on a turbo engine if you decide to go that way later

Dont waste your money on engine mods :
Just clean up and strengthen the car for that Turbo engine ..
The straight six nissan engine is a marvel , even stock .
But seriously , spend your money on mods to strengthen the car , some VL's are developing over 1000 horse power ( Turbo )
Plan ahead and be happy , very happy a couple of years from now .
