    1. 1.9 rockers ~ +10% power
    2. Ported cylinder heads ~ +5% power
    3. Haltech ecu ~ +10% power
    and your headers are worth round 10% power too. So roughly in the end you'll have a motor making something near 200 kw at flywheel, then go get an LSD with a 3.9 crown wheel and that car will be a Freak!
