My guess would be closer to 225 (flyweel HP) or so, and thats assumeing that you got 5 HP from each of your exhaust mods. You only in all reality got about 8 hp from both and maybe another 1-2 for the plug wires. I would suggest ditching the bosh platinum +4 for some NGK Copper spark plugs. I have the Bosh +4 in my car now and will be ditching them this weekend for some NGK plugs.

I hope you guys mean to the flywheel...I think 205 rwhp would be generous. Time for a PI swap

the stock 99 and up was 225rwhp. So minus that by 35 for the 96 and there you are at 190rwhp stock. Then add back 15-20 for the mods. So 205-210rwhp or so.

^^ There is no way he will see 15-20hp from his exhaust set-up. I'm not tying to be ****, but you may even be loosing some power with 3in straights on that car. Especially w/o a PI swap.

i agree with ngk coppers also.

^^ when I added my shorties/X-pipe(catted) and a little tune i dropped a half second so yea I think its worth 10hp. ok, no headers on his but still. f-it go get on a dyno. I hate speculation. Most mags and my speed shop said Id get 10-15 out of my exhaust, as nd well, based on my new numbers, I did. [&:]
