Bhp is crankshaft-measured hp. So about 110 to the wheels. He never clarified if he wanted this 140 at 7000rpm or just 140 somewhere and a 7000rpm redline.
Consider that a Phase 1 (late 80's) EJ22 (that's 2.2L for those unfamiliar with the rather obvious Subaru nomenclature) makes 135bhp and redlines at 6000rpm, without much praise being thrown at its flow characteristics.
A modern 2.0L engine that revs to 7000rpm almost HAS to make more than 140bhp unless the engineer that designs the heads is drunk or high. And if a 2.0L engine only makes 140bhp@7000rpm ZOMG! What a terrible flowing head.
This is why I'm baffled.
