85bhp at wheel is pretty much 85bhp increase at fly. The drivetrain takes a fixed torque to rotate it; adding 40% power wont make drive train losses much bigger. Perhaps a fraction due to slightly higher friction losses in the gearbox, but certainly not a massive mount.
FWIW on the Cosworth engine dyno, the stock fa20 was 185-190bhp. Abbey motorsport measure about 160 hub bhp in the UK.
According to Cosworth graphs; stock ~190bhp, stage 2.3 ~290bhp
UK fuel, RON99 V power is superior to US AKI91 (~RON95).
