Thanked 4,171 Times in 2,943 PostsWelcome Tim, I was one of the guy's you met on Sunday (the good looking one) maybe you should get some pics up of your S60 so everyone can see it.
Re tuning, someone with far more knowledge (nearly everyone) will be along shortly

I see a lot of people doing the 2.4 engine swap to push the R forward due to the fragile liners - depends how hard you want to push it.
Santa - our earstwhile leader has an S60R and has had some success. I'd say with that budget - filter, downpipe, exhaust & remap.
