dont cams and exhaust, decat and induction kit take the 180 to around the 206 bhp mark. whats the remap doing then??? surley if these mods make 206 bhp a remap should up that a bit or do they just sort out the fueling and timing ect

that calculator??? claims a zs makes 197 bhp with all the above mods. take off the cams and it makes 195bhp. so cams are worth 2bhp...... i think its a little bit wrong

Doesn't show torque, so while BHP mightn't increase much the torque might... 1 isn't really any good without the other. IMO i'd prefer the torque over power (within achievable proportions). Silly acceleration with reasonable top speed (somewhere about the 120-130 mark).
