i want to get this thing on a dyno. it runs strong and i want some numbers to brag about it is advertised at 140hp stock. i think the upgrades got me 20-30hp? sport exaust, K&N filter, crane ignition. i would like to find out

I hate to break this to you, but I doubt that you found 20 to 30 HP. If you did you'd almost be driving an 2.0S, and those engines had significantly different cams, porting and CR, not to mention a whole host of other details in order to get up to 170 HP (DIN). If you come in between 140 and 150, you're doing pretty good. The sport exhaust may even net you a slight loss in HP (AKA: Torque) between 3000 and 4000 RPM.

It will be interesting to see what the dyno says. I'm happy to hear that the fuel injection is running better!
