Posted this one in the wrong section at first, sorry.

I have friend who has 1.8 105 hp Fiesta Xr2i with a sports system and a K&N 57i kit. He would like to fit Kent cams togehter with a throttle body from a RS 1800 and chip it. Should he go for the Kent cams for the 105 hp version or the 130 hp?

but if he uses the 130ps throttle body and chip it would bring up the engine to 130 spec, except the 130 orginal cams? Wouldn't it make more sense if he used the Kent 130 cams, since he have switched throttlebodys?

If he is trying to get to 130bhp use 130 cams + verniers
