I'm not sure what your expecting someone here to say...Isn't the standard figure what you'd expect since the car is standard. Ok +- a few bhp depending on the rolling road and age of engine.

Think it was 109 they came with standard. I doubt it would as low as 90.

If its a good healthy engine it should be in the 100's.
Mine had decat, full system, induction & an intermittet fuel pump fault, 1st run was 109, 2nd was 105.
Age old story of how accurate are rollers etc.

My X16XE had 108BHP when it was standard with over 100k on the clock. So I'm going for 111BHP

I wouldn't use an over reading rr as a benchmark. I'd say 103.

A standard engine with high miles with more power than standard? He didn't need to. I chose to come to that conclusion alllllllll by myself.
