honda civic EX 4dr VRS 2.5 inch exhaust with a magnaflow muffler, iceman cold air intake, DC tri-y header and installed new factory injectors. i went and dynoed the car and had 119.3 HP and 107.7 ft/lbs torque. not bad for a 175,000 mile car. this was a third gear run w/ a ZC tranny and factory 14in. tires.
with tuning, yea, that sounds like a real number. a stock EX engine runs 125hp at the flywheel, so when you figure in the expected increase from the parts, and then take out the power loss from the drivetrain, 119 to the wheels seems reasonable.
