She needs some work still it seems to me. Maybe I'm wrong, and the car's just being choked. Odd... 196... Doesn't the stock SVT come withnear that?
Heheheheheh, SVT has 195-200 at the crank! :p Most of them dyno around 160-170 at the wheels stock. Having upped that by swapping out nothing but the engine itself by 20-30 HP with an open element filter as the only other mod is impressive. Add on 20-30 HP more by doing all of the bolt ons available down the road and it's even more impressive. Remember, a Contour doesn't need quite as much HP or TQ as your heavyweight to get around...
