Yep, throw your money away. If I can run 140hp from a 1.6 on carbs with an exhaust and a bit of gas flowing, I'm sure you can pull 150hp from a 1.6 mfi cammed, gas flowed, exhaust, higher compersion. But then don't listen to me as my methods don't make you spend loads of money on rubbish, just the things that matter.
