Default 2 ltr Zetec engine tuning

My sisters boyfriend recently took his 2ltr ESP Focus to PE to get it tuned and came away with 153bhp with a remap, zorst and filter

He wants to go for cams next, but am I right in thinkin that using the throttle housing from an ST170 would also give a bit more power?

Are there any other ways of getting power out of the engine besides the cams?

Throttle bodies and an after management should see over 200bhp
Or like Lewis said, just turbo it

Yeah I know what you mean mate, I thought that when he first told me it was an ESP one

I might convince him to give it to PE with a wedge of cash yet

It wasn't too bad with 153bhp, just seemed to take forever to hit the red line lol
