I think other than a Keizenspeed balance shaft removal kit and rebuild, the bottom end will be stock, maybe a baffled sump at some point..
With the head I'd like to get it port matched and polished, possibly more aggressive cams from another H series something that I don't have to swap the springs or retainers so just drop in preferably, then just adjustable cam gears, larger injectors, FPR etc etc

I don't plan on going too mad spending loads on parts as such but try and make the most of a good tune and map

An a7 will already have the most aggressive OEM cams. Anything more will be aftermarket and you'll want to start thinking about springs and retainers then.
