I'm no expert on the 96-98 so I could be wrong, but I think the 97s and 98s both had 225hp. It's possible that the 97s may have had only 215hp though. As far as your deal for a mint Stage 2 Roush, it's probably a ggod deal. Prices here in the northeast are high so that number actually looks low. I'll assume the car is a hardtop. Does the car have the side exhaust and all the suspension goodies? For $17Gs, I would get a used 99, but I'm biased. Different looks and more power but shitty seats. The mods you mention will, conservatively, get you anywhere from 10-20hp, not sure about torque. Good luck.
