I went from a 93 9k Aero to a 2001 9-5 base. The '99 is 170hp with a factory upgrade to 185 hp. You can go higher but you need a replacement ECU (engine computer) and possibly other upgrades like a bigger downpipe, catback, turbo etc depending how far you want to go.
You will also probably find the suspension pretty soft on the 9-5 compared to the 9k Aero. You can get a Saab sport chassis kit (essentially, 2001 Aero suspension) for under $600 that gets you new springs shocks & bars.
