Default Fao vauxhall people....how much should it make?

The old man has just brought a westfield with a vauxhall redtop in, its fairly standard but with an sbd jenvey throttle body kit and custom exhaust manifold ect, think it wants a good setup as it dosent feel as sharp compared to the 165hp pinto one he had a few years back and surely it should make more than that as there 150 standard? I dont know that much about them so wonderd what power a setup like this should make?

175bhp-180bhp without cams on a good standard healthy engine

no way 180bhp.most are 130 standard.had loads of redtops/lets in corsa and nova's.take it to a rolling road and go from there mate,redtops are good engines but getting old now.fresh tune and you will see good power but dont expect 180 mate thats internet figures.
