Don't think you'd be looking at more than a realistic 20-30bhp with chip, exhaust, cams and air filter.

A Superchip shows an improvement of:

Escort 1.6 Zetec/1.8 Zetec/1.8 16V +7 bhp @ £293.75

Escort GTi is 1.816v IIRC?

http://www.scc.superchips.co.uk/ or you have Stu who runs PF who does his own chips.

And now I think about it, the 20-30bhp figure may well need some light headwork as well......but Stu or Steve/Rob@SCC would be able to advise better than me.
