I'd think including the dastek chip you'll be seeing close to 150bhp tbh.

they are the only things that will give you power

the figure you get depends on the headwork (which will be good), inlet and the map... all the other things wont make a great deal of difference

you wont see 160bhp without a stupid rev limit, or throttle bodies

well i have seen a lot of x16xe making between 145-155 with a superchip.

i do see what your saying about the filter, dont realy want to be spending 200+ on a filter.

over 155bhp on standard lower inlet is a hard task, depends on many things, mainly what rollers you use!

all of those mods are a bit wasted without TB's

dont bother with steel rods etc (as per other cc thread)..... TB's before much of that would be a better base.
