if the greddy kit can give me 30-40%(with 5psi, i think)hp gain, then for the ex(127) would be 165-177 hp. and i was running 8psi at that time(so maybe 185-190hp), but cant be more than 200 hp though.

hope u guys can tell me why. i dont think i misheard him.

The 240 K engine had 155hp stock. If he did not have flip-up headlights, then it was 95 or newer (up to 98 I believe). So a 75-shot with no other mods would give him around 230hp at the crank, maybe about 200hp to the wheels. If he had the basic upgrades, expect that number to be a little higher.

I'd say you did pretty well.
