Ok, sanity has returned; I have given up on the Turbo Frogeye idea, too much clever engineering for me.
I followed Mike North's advice abiut engine building & tuning & have checked out the Mini scene - www.minispares.com has loads of great articles by Keith Calver; much of it applicable to Spridget A series engines too.
One article seems to give more hope to those of us with a 1098 engine, and he reckons it's not quite the poor engine it is reputed to be but a forgotten relative that with correct treatment can impress.
He recommends the Swiftune SW5 cam which he also raves about in one of the Mini mags; I can find no mention of it on their site; has anyone heard of it or even used it? [haven't emailed Swiftune yet].
Finally the mini mags had a good set of articles on A Series rebuilds - I may be able to get info out there if there's any interest.
Thanks again
