Is it the 1.6 CVH 8v motor or the 1.8 Zetec 16v motor?

CVH
polished and ported head (standard sized valves)
Piper or Kent cam with vernier pulley
Chip
4-2-1 manifold
Magnex exhaust (will require modding to mate to manifold)
K&N

My old 2i ran this setup and recorded a smidge over 130bhp at PTS.

Zetec
Piper reprofiled fast road cams
Chip
2ltr Throttle Body
130PS MAF
Magnex exhaust system
K&N induction kit relocated to get good cold air

Run this setup on an Escort GTi and recorded 147bhp at SCC on an uber accurate Dyno Dynamics rolling road.
