How much BHP?
I currently have a Zs180 was just wondering with the mods ive got how much bhp should it be pushing out?
Has ITG Maxogen induction system, full s/s cat back exhaust & has been superchipped by www.superchips.co.uk.
Also has ajustable coilovers (not that this will make a difference to the power i know).
I used to own a clio 172 exlcusive but the zs seems to pull alot harder.
Thanks for your advice.

It will need rollering to find the 'figure', at a guess it could be high 190's. Superchipping is a grey area as it only gives you a figure relating to a standard set-up. When adding an induction kit and exhaust system, the chipping parameters don't always encompass these mods. Expect around 10bhp for the ITG, possibly 5bhp for the system and the chip, well could be 8-10bhp, but who knows?
Standard 180's are generally around the 177bhp mark.
I haven't bothered with chipping mine for those same reasons, could be a waste of £300, I'd rather wait and get it done as a 1 off once I have done a few more mods.

exactly right, did you get the chip fitted before or after the filter and exhaust?

I'd say that the figures that Stamford said aren't far off. I'd have said somewhere in the 190's myself.
..And the ZS pulling better than the Clio. Here's your answer: (not sure howaccurate the figures are, but they both for a standard car)
Clio 172 - 200.0 Nm @ 5400 rpm
ZS 180 - 240.0 Nm@ 4000 rpm
