220 i doubt, probably 180ish max, hell 220 would be sweet though. I wouldnt believe it til someone uploaded a dyno though...

We're thinking my custom kit will have around 170-180 to the wheels.. this is just an estimate. As soon as RevHard gets off their asses and ships me a manifold, we'll finish and I'll upload my finished dyno after tuning the Haltech unit.

ya, the kit works.

email them. they know their stuff.

sure, the site is mega ghetto...but they really do know their stuff.

as for horsepower...do the math, man.

it all depends on your boost pressure, and the temperature of the air. use some grade 10 pyshics, and some grade 4 math, and figure it out!

yes the lx/dx in theory could run a higher boost pressure then an ex bc of its 9.5to1 comprestion compared to the ex's 9.9to1. however both the lx,ex,and dx all have plastic intake manifolds it can only sustain so much boost. oh and im about to get banned again. oh well.

jesus, did you say plastic intake manifolds?

man...that definitely needs to be upgraded! JG Edelbrock came out with one for the 6th gens...hopefully they'll make one for our cars soon.

or does another company already make them?

Why does this have to happen, I parted out my car and now there is turbo kits available. Nice, I'll be wanting to do it up again.
