stock 99 SI is at 160 horsepower, bolt-ons MIGHT give you 10 hp, 150 is really low, something weird there

maybe 150 wheel with boltons?

yeah where i live, there's a place call hwy 100 where people cruise and races. i see a lot of people getting pulled over and having the car checked from the bottom to see if they still have there cat convertor, and most of them get there car towed. pretty funny to me but i bet the ticket is even more of a laughter!

thats 150 hp at the wheels guys, the 160 stock is at the flywheel. roughly 12-15% loss to the wheels. 150 with simple bolt-ons is actually pretty decent. Ive seen stock ITRs dyno real close to that.
