Hmm....You would be sort of limited because you don't want an intake, but I say if you get a shorty header and a midpipe, you should be at 175ish whp. That equates to around 205 horses. You'll still be CARB legal, and very reliable.
So as long as your buddy with the Cooper doesn't get the works package, you should be able to beat him;)
For someone who just wants a nice kick in performance w/o a lot of tinkering around, JRSC is perfect. Its just when you want to start upping the boost/go faster that the problems start to appear. I think the only additional maintenance you might have to do is keep an eye on the belts and replace them every so often.
