well unfortunately, with direct bolt-ons on our 1.6L (assuming you have a 1.6) the most of the standard bolt ons for the lc & lc2 will only gain you about 15 - 20 max without the use of nitrous

Its a 1.5 and I doubt itll see a 20hp gain from bolt ons with that motor. Starting at 95hp. Id say, do some cheap bolt ons to make you happy for now. Save the real money for a beta swap. The engine is getting old anyway and it would be a NICE increase in power. 95 - 135 (thats if you dont mod it). Beta as a better aftermarket. Is this an auto or 5spd? Im going to assume auto, that would make the swap even better if you switched to a 5spd.
That or rebuild the 1.5 and boost it.
