Right on... I'm optimistic :)
All the gains I've seen with CAIs for the Duratec 2.0 are 8-10WHP and the SRIs claim 5-7WHP for the 2.3L.
What I think will put me over the top is the 2.5" flex-back. I was indifferent to the gains offered by the move to a 2.5" system from a 2.25" until I read more than a few Duratecs put down 3-4 WHP more by moving to the larger system.
I figure the bottom line is 125WHP, 130 is what I'm hoping for and anything else is gravy!
