300bhp - not allot of cars run 300bhp for instance

You will find that 75% of the RST's are not above 200bhp

And 5% of them are close to 300bhp

I personally believe a lot of so called 300 hp cars are not producing this figure at the wheels but at the pillow ( bloody dreamers )

200 bhp is so easy to achieve now. Chip, cooler, filter, exhaust and set up. If you want it to last, maybe a stage 1 turbo.

Not true, its takes more than a Zetec bottom end to get a genuine 200+ bhp.

Mine should be under 200...

203 at Well Lane recently, 193 at APT, but a new (standard) turbo and -31 since then, putting the torque back where it should be

Now i would estimate 190ish but with good torque from 3.5 to 6k
