id like to see an xe run a genuine 230bhp on a stock bottom end. 200-205 is max with stock pistons due to the limited lift you can run cam wise.
and alot of lads who had big power LETs have all gone back to xe's on carbs or tbs anyway, lets are only good in a straight line or a properly sorted car...corsa's are crap for big power lets other than straights
Mine ran 222bhp on a stock bottom end with arp's
What cams? Can't of had enough lift to reach 222bhp?

my xe ran 222bhp befor i missed a gear and it went bang was in fairly standard trim too only had cams arp bolts and a decent exhaust and manni
So realistically about 175bhp tops.
why only 175? it was on 48mm throtle bodys with dta cams etc etc
Sorry i missed that part in your original post that i quoted.
*edit*
Sorry i didn't see you had commented earlier in the thread and mis-read the above.My bad.

I think the only way to settle this is for someone to buy mine & try it out

rollers were out then, because 222bhp is stil 70bhp up on stock with just a generally oversized pair of tbs and decent manifold and some mild as hell cams. what cams were in it to get 222bhp as kent 1612s are only good for about 205 tops and you cant run much more lift if on a stock bottom end
