Default How much power for C3 auto 2 litre Pinto

Hi There,

I have 77 Mk2 Escort 2 Litre pinto mated to a C3 Auto. I want to increase the power to 150/160 BHP, but was told if I increase the Gas flow throught the head that it would reduce the vacuum pressure to the point where the Auto box wont change gear properly.
A)Is this correct.
B)How far can I go before it causes issues.

The reason is I'd like to sort the engine out first and when I can afford it I'll do the 5speed manual gearbox conversion.

Thanks for any input
