it's pretty much what John Moore said... I appreciate my 'B for that also. As far as upgrades go, forget about ECU's and stuff. You need to go back to 'old school' hot rodding mode of thinking, where everything (well almost everything) you change or modify will be a mechanical.
On a modern car you would change a chip in the ECU; on the 'B you'll turn a screw in your Carburetor, or swap out your single Zenith Stromberg Carb (stock for '78) and intake/exhaust manifold for a pair of SU carbs w/ intake Manifold and Peco header w/ exhaust system (assuming that's legal for you to do in Quebec). After changing carbs like that, it becomes a matter of fine tuning a set of screws on each carb until you hit the 'sweet spot'. If you're thinking about cool air intakes and the likes, you'll have to fabricate your own.
To sum it up, performance upgrades on MGB's are a LOT more mechanically oriented and a LOT less electronically oriented than any modern car. It's a mode of thinking that is a bit different from the 'norm' these days, but it's easy to work with once you make that change in gears.
