Listen - my own personally owned car and engine - a 1.6 Zetec-SE fitted with cams, 4-2-1,
standard inlet and
standard airbox made 149bhp 121lbs/ft.
Now, I'm not sure if you're calling me a liar or not, but as said I can quite happily drag out RR graphs from same spec engine, on lots of different rolling roads, showing between 140-150bhp.
As said, I've built more than enough Zetec-SE's now to know how much power then can produce!
P.S Know-it-all, have a look at this link

Those cars use the Zetec-SE, they run single throttle body, and are pushing out 170ps.
