Re: 185bhp pluss on standard bottom end
For rough guestimates a bottom end can take a 50% increase from standard. But thats not to say your bottom end will take that, due to various factors.

Re: 185bhp pluss on standard bottom end
My brothers FRST was running a completely stock bottom end and it was dyno's on an "Ego Buster" at 210bhp. It ran like this for well over 18 months and only came apart as he restored the shell and thought he may as well put some steel rods etc in.
iirc the spec was
T3
Beige injectors
195chip
Kent CVH35 and vernier
Cossie fuel pump
Pace intercooler
21psi peak holding 18-19psi

if performance ford can run 260bhp on a standard bottom end then you have no worries...its more a problem to get the fueling right and set up regular....
