'99 Convertible (185hp) -- Want more power!

[demoniac]

Hello,

I posted once in the forums before introducing my car. About one year ago I purchased a 1999 9-3 Convertible and I've been loving every mile of driving it. Right now it has 66k miles on it and is doing just fine.

So, now that I've had it for a while I'm kind of wishing I had more power. I've looked at some Abbott and BSR ECU upgrades but couldn't make up my mind. Eventually I would like to have about 270HP or higher if it's possible. Which, from what I've read, it should be possible.

With that goal in mind what do you guys recommend as an upgrade path? I'm willing to spend extra money if necessary to make sure it's done right and not ghetto.

Thanks!
Rich
