Default What's needed for 200bhp

Hi one of my mates has just bought a mercury grey escort rst. It's been along time since I had an rst and was struggling to remember what's needed for 200bhp as this is his target power. The car apparently has a cam and was rr'd at 161bhp.
If the car was standard except for a stainless exhaust and K+N filter what else would be needed to achieve 200bhp.

On a funnier note, he was told by a young lad in town "i can fit you a front mount intercooler and turn the fuel pressure up it will be good for nearly 400bhp!" I was thinking of taking the cossie to him, surely if a 1.6cvh will make 400 bhp what would a 2.0yb make with his engine tuning skills
