as long as it is a healthy engine and is serviced at the correct intervals you will be fine. I recon 200bhp on a pritty much standard engine is your best bet as you do start pushing the limits of the standard components such as conrods etc.
I couldnt agree more.I've used my engine with std internals/headgasket/head,running between 16-18 psi for trackdays since 1995 and its still running very strong (ask Tim and Ollie!!

).Keep it regularly services and all will be well.Regards,Micky
