yes a 16v will make 200bhp+. How many of them acheive it?? not many Most stumble at 195 if there lucky. 
Speaking to Sandy 180bhp from an 8v is acheiveable! maybe more.  So plenty more to be gained. Also the 8v lump is surprisingly lighter than the 16v lump.
Much bigger/more powerful machinery have become very embarrased when they realised i was still next to them smiling when they thought i had long dissapeared. Only silly speeds do they leave me.

Quite a few achieve 200bhp... quite easy... but were talking on both parties of the car not being street legal.
180bhp in a vtr lump, would mean regular rebuilds, a bore very close to the edge, and again not street legal.
Im going to be putting ph5 cams in my car once i have my daily drive, and with some nice big jp4 valves and a fully rebuilt head, i will be looking at the 200bhp mark.
for me, its about power to weight, and how much torque you have anyway.
when you going to ace cafe next? Im thinking of going next week if you and Alex fancy popping up again?
