if your thinking of forged pistons and steel rods then i would sugest saving your money and getting decent managmet as a standard engine will see 220-230 bhp with the right managment unless you can do both engine and managment

My ZVH made 230 bhp at 11 psi orso without a fifth injector....
Could be raised to about 14 psi saifely as for the fuel so i was told by the dyno operator.
Have to mention i have forged pistons so don't know what standard can cope with but thouhgt 14 psi would be safe...
Just what You want....
For real power EFI is the way..
Ohh hehehe..Jeroentje RS beat me to it... he's talking about my engine....:P

efi costs lots of money!!!!!!!!! standard gearbox's handels a true 200 bhp about! and unless you want to pay more for the uprated gearbox's ŁŁŁŁ and Ł1000+ for efi you had may aswell run mfi as this is good for 220 bhp easy! and mf2 aquamist fifth injector costs about Ł250 and then run a safe 250bhp. imo until you have covered the basics of you engine and gearbox handling the power save your money and run mfi as you cant get full potential otherwise. i do agree efi is the best way but does not agree with everyone's wallet!!!!

fitting, parts, plus setting up properly all costs money, jano from oddkidd if im not mistaken does all this for around Ł1000 plus using webber management (cosworth) unsure on exact figure you can use fiesta rs which is cheaper but if you are going to go down that route you may aswell get the better management as that what it is all about but even tho if it only cost Ł500 the statement is still true imo.
