When at similar stages of tune (standard, induction kit, 4-1 manifold), @Mooch's 1.6 was mostly just a quick on track as my 1.8. The power deficit being offset by the lighter weight. Stick with the 1.6, it's a good little engine :)

I'd agree with Dom - less power on paper but lighter.  Blink offer lots more horses and is a good route.  I used Skuzzle because they are closer, but the basic package I had (ME221 ECU based) has delivered a significant, usable and reliable increase in power.  They can squeeze around 170bhp without too much effort from a 1.6 NA engine.
