So every add on i do it is just a guess of how much it adds to my car. My car is a 2.5 v-6 24v DOHC. So why is it that the SVT is the same size engine, but has 200hp and mine only has 170hp. What can i do to my car to boost the hp alitttle so i can run with the stv. Big Pimpin' 96 Contour SE. 2.5L V-6, 24VL DOHC, 5-speed Phat System pushing 2 12" JL Audio W0 Pushing around 175hp right now at crank purple neons under dash APC fog lights with hyper white bulbs Hyper white headlight bulbs K&N air filter
