Thats based on the fact that every standard engine left the factory with exactly 167hp... i dont buy that.
And too the equation that every engine is slightly de-tuned from the factory in the name of reliability and there is potential for VERY small gains to be had from a standard motor. Like you say about your own one 177 is prety optimistic but shows its a strong motor
same as i think mine showing 169 shows its a strong engine.
Unfortunately for me my current clio is a very different story
1.8 16v with cams, headwork, exhaust and induction and still doesnt even pull standard power on a dyno! fail
