Sorry to disappoint you, but your car, if is a '96 2.3 FPT, it should have "only" 200hp. Only manual Aeros and '98 CSEs have 225hp.
If it almost spins the wheels in 3rd, I don't think you should get much more. The 9k was designed not be a drag racing car,but a "highway" car. You'll lose many stoplight races, but on the highway it will be so fast. I bet that when you floor it at 100mph you have a different feeling that the one you had in the Thema... well, that's what the 9000 was made for.
Cheap tuning is a bleed valve (under 50$), but you'll makea fool ofthe Trionic,that won't be able tomanage as it should the engine. A real performance chip would increase powerin a much more safer way.

PS: where are you from? I thought Themas weren't popular around the world.
