Wouldnt it even put the timing out slightly?
Spacer would work out adding around 1.6mm.
The cambelt tensioner can take it fine, and the timing wouldn't be too far out if at all.
And agreed, no way is that 120bhp  Most of that wouldn't effect BHP

4-1 manifold

Removing the egr and sai makes no difference to your bhp

Lightend flywheel makes no difference to BHP either, just makes it rev quicker. Exhaust won't make feck all difference.
If it had that lot and a powerbox, might be 120bhp.

Thats how i brought it for the money id pay to tune it up to whatever you maze well go 20xe or c20let so it was worth it what more could you do with it
a lexmaul would what give me 20bhp extra they cost round about 250 300 now you can buy a red top for that lol

Just cos you was told it by previous owner means fuck all You can't turn the fuel up, and it would fuck up the running of it and make it lose power anyway lmfao

apparently mines on its 3rd engine 
dont know for sure but heard a few story's about the slut that it is
and the astra engine is a bit different. few bhp less than the standard x16xe as it'll be a x16xel iirc
think the cams are the same a 14xe's/ <may be corrected as iv heard many stories
