You can spend pretty much as much as your wallet / SWMBO allows on tuning a X Flow, Ive seen £9k-£10k 1700 all steel XFlows in things like Classic Clubman race cars, putting out well over 180bhp on choke restricted carbs.

Must be just about the cheapest engine to rebuild going, cams are cheap, shells are cheap, pistons are cheap, and everything is easy to get to.
