I love my JCW Cooper to bits but it seems to be loosing out on power low down. Apart from a cooper s what is there that i could do to add abit more torque low down. So far i only have a K&N and JCW kit........

cheers

new manifold

A Manifold will be your best bet as ther is not more for the cooper that can be done other than a remap and keep the price reasonable and from what ive read id stay away for a bluefin.

After a Manifold your then looking at Throttle bodies - Heads - Cams and thats stupid money for a Cooper.

Id say a Manifold and some irridium spark plugs is your best bet. you already have the JCW exhaust.

Iridium plugs and new leads are a good start.
I changed the plugs as soon as i could on mine. Throttle body will give negligible gains, but use more fuel. Standard bodies are fine.
Manifold again i would go for!
