Another newbie question: I am reading up (reading the posts here has given me LOTSA great ideas) on 2.0L aftermarket intakes and was wondering what all the Contour GURUs are recommending? Some say OBX, KKM, K&N, Tornado swirl, etc... I am not looking to heavily modify my car, and want it street legal. And what kind of horsepressure increase should I expect? Is there a relatively inexpensive way to get to 150 horses? Why 150? Sounded like a nice round number. Thanks and sorry for if this is an inane post 96 GL-Sport 2.0L, MTX Bernardo Bourges' CTA CAI, Dmitri's SVT E0s rims, 205/55R-16, Dunlop SPs.
