Seems some confusion here over standard/race prepared.

A standard out the box engine at £200 is effectively a generator engine, it requires quite a lot of work just to make it suitable for racing. Just as a minimum you will need to:
1. Remove tank & Governer system.
2. Change Valve springs
3. Fit Vacuum feed for fuel pump.
4. Fit engine cover & Fuel pump.
5. Fit throttle system.
6. Fit Clutch

By the time you have done this you will be close to a race prepared engine in parts alone and with a race prepared engine you should get a whole lot more.

At a minimum you want:

1. Torque hone.
2. Cam timing Optimisation.
3. Race exhaust.
4. Carb correctly jetted.
