If you're 17 and have no money maybe you should be happy with 170 crank hp. 225 fwhp takes a 3.0L swap/hybrid with headers, exhaust, intake, pnp, and then chip it.
There is a lot of love for the 95 SE - best stock suspension of any Contour (SVT is close), for instance: best LCAs, best springs, good rear bar. It's also lighter than later years. But building power is HARD on this engine, since it already has a great output.
Take about a week and just READ. You'll learn a lot.
