Morning all, I'm hopefully swoping engines this weekend as mine is on it's last legs. Im fitting a powerbox inlet, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold a De-cat and a full s/s exhaust to the new x16xe .

Just wondering if anybody was running the same setup and could give a rough idea of power gains,

Thanks.

210bhp is about highest wet sump. Too many companies claim 'big power' bt its easy enuf to adjust a few figures to apear ur getn mre bhp.

Broster had 188 with pocketd stock pistons, tbs, 288newmans + sbd ex mani iirc. Iv got his ex mani on my 16xe, but not on rollers til 20th, but hoping see close to 200bhp
