So its lost about 14bhp over the years.

What exhaust system is on it??

I wouldnt be happy either,i would be wanting factory figs.lol.

Wish the XE's were like the V6's and gained more power after some miles on them.

Sportex... Find me a valver that makes standard power after 24 years..... after a few years a c20xe would be very lucky to be 150bhp

What size of bore is it??What car/engine was it intended for??

I think youve taken that the wrong way.I dont mean it in a bad way,i mean it in a fussy me way.I would always be trying to chase factory figs.

I'd gladly prove you wrong if i had £40 to nip up to Henry's
dyno on Saturday.

My old XE ran 169.2 @ the fly and 138 @ the wheels.
On probably one of the most accurate dyno days i have been to.

As long as its around 150 it proves its healthy I guess. I was well chuffed with mine. 169.7 bhp and 158.8 lbft torque. Thats with ecotech top hat, 1.6 air box and exhaust. How accurate it is I don't know
