right tried searching regarding bhp etc for a XE (cant search more than 3 lettes )
I know its v expensive etc.
On a Astra GTE 2.0 16v ( about 155 bhp )
What would be required to get this to about 200bhp ( or maybe just over? )
Looking on regal
Dbilas dynamic individual throttle injector systems (give about 20-25bhp?)
Superchip (about 10-13bhp? )
Cams ??? (kent or piper unsure which is better ?? guessing you need to upgrade cams if your upgrading the rest ).
Any suggestions / help would be great. Cheers

You will need throttle bodies for 200bhp plus

Yes - full set up.
getting to 175-180 is achieveable without them and realibale.
but for over 200bhp you need bodies and a real "proper" map.

Wrong
20XE's are 157bhp
C20XE's are 150bhp
The difference being the inclusion of a CAT

I have the Vauxhall press release on both the "early" Astra GTE 16v (non cat) 157bhp
Cavalier GSi with Cat - 150bhp same engine.
Dont take the V-Files as gospel - they are always wrong

Also cause of the heads too 
To get 200BHP of of an XE you need a fresh bottom end, ARP rod bolts
TB's, flowed head, mild cams (264's), exhaust manifold and a mapping sesh.
So about 2000-2500 worth all running.
or to cheat, 50shot of nitrous

You would need higher lift than 264's for over 200bhp
