only "bolt on's" for power in an N/A are exhaust, intake...you won't see any gains really from removing the emissions, if anything it a placebo thing. The only part of the emissions system that actually holds back any power at all would be an old cat...and we're talking 1-2hp at best when its out of the way.

Other than porting there aren't really any ways to gain very noticeable horsepower on an N/A motor....sorry big guy

now turbo on the other hand..........

Makes perfect sense but emmissions removal cleans up the engine bay. Go to ebay and find the seller bestrotary* or on the forum here again bestrotary* he sells the complete kit and has great reviews in the good guy/bad guy section.
