The cat, if properly sized shouldn't cost more than a few, (less than 5) horsepower. If the cat is clogged, it could be a problem. You could always remove the cat to see if that fixes the problem. I would look at sensors, vacumm leaks, and ignition. If that doesn't cure it, trade it in a a turbo. :) <saabsternopsameja.com> wrote in message news:8k39f3$pa8$1nopsam1.deja.com... > Hey fellows, I own an 85 900 (2.0 8-valve MFI) that won't get past 60km > (approx. 35mph) in 3rd gear up serious mountains.
