No it won't, set of SS4 cams, full exhuast, Shawspeed HD bottom end bolts if you want to raise the rev limit, and a re-map and you're looking at 140-150bhp, and it won't be hightly strung, know loads running that power daily! Mine will be soon.

Orrr, you can make a tubo manifold, stick a T25 on, and a de-comp plate and run 200-ish bhp happily. Ollie Clarke ran a turbo'd 1.6 in time attack for a year and gave it death, and it's still running now in a customers car!
