actually for N/A check the other products board. there is word about some N/A parts coming out. Intake, Header, exhuast, lightened flywheel and clutch can get u 10-15 whp. according to some members's dyno floating around somewhere.

maybe you would ned a computer the fuel mixture that is running leaner now because of the denser air meanining you have more of it. You need your injectors to push more fuel, kinda like when your car is cold. There is a member with a lightened flywheel and performance clutch dynoed 125 whp. Keep in mind 137 is stock whp of an SI.
