Welcome to the forums!!

If it's not the Tickford 185kw a full exhaust (single) will be required. The gain from that would be a great start. Next would be a Unichip fitted/tuned with Cold Air Induction/filter and larger thottle body and injectors.

All this will help alot and your dyno power will be about on the money, although torque and rev range may still suffer a little. The 220 has much better heads, cam and roller rockers. If you're serious look at getting these done aswell combined with a 5.6 stroker kit!! or S/C. Then you will be leaving the 220 and may other great cars behind for sure.

Cheers,
Colville
