[QUOTE="cSvt1295, post: 13874378, member: 157144"] The SVT had different pistons and a special ECU. The heads have the extrude hone polishing on the combustion chambers and have a higher compression ratio. For improving performance, a lot of people swap out the stock 2.5 for the 2001+ 3L. You can pick up a junkyard 3.0 from $500-$1k and depending on what setup you go with (full, port matched, hybrid), you can end up with well over 200whp and 200wtq. That, boost, and an HMS built LSD trans is the best way to squeeze big numbers out of these cars. There's a bunch of smaller things such as bolt ons, throttle body & y-pipe optimizing, etc. that will bump power a tiny bit but it can add up quickly. [/QUOTE]
