if they are telling you these mods wil get you 350HP. It takes three things to make HP, air, fuel, and RPM. ARP bolts, stiffer valve springs and powder coating are a nice touch, but with 30lb injectors, a stock cam, a stock intercooler, and a stock AMM I am sorry to bust your bubble, but 200-215 is just about it. A 2.1 liter motor making 350HP will have a huge AMM (actually you would probably change to a MAP controlled after-market fuel management system), a huge intercooler, a pair of very radical cams, 55+lb injectors and 0 to none idle quality or low speed drivability. Not to mention Saabs inherently weak chain/transmissions and the inability to dissepate the large amount of extra heat created.
Please do not misunderstand me, I am not trying to be patronizing. You have a good base started, and the additional mods I am taking about will not cost that much, compared to what you allready have going. It just sounds like the guys at your speed shop are leading you on.
