HP and suspension for LG4

I was just wondering what kind of horsepower my LG4 has, i know that its rated at 150 but the guy who sold it to me hollowed out the cat and said that the "power buldge "cowl induction hood gave it like 15 more horsepower so it should be at right around 175 right now, i dont know if thats true or not but i would really like to knol if thats true. i also wondered how to tell if you have WS6 suspension, i was told that if the 5th letter in the vin was a w then it has ws6 or that it was a RPO code, is there a site where all the codes are listed because some in my car arent listed in the decoder. any help would be appreciated.

Ws6 is an RPO code, look in your center console.

as for the HP of the LG4, 150 would be a modest guess, hollowed out cat and Powerbulge hood arent going to Do Alot, the hood does nothing.

Measure the front sway bar, it should be 36mm. you "should" have disc brakes in the rear, normally you have disc on a WS6 car, but not always. You can have disc rear and not have WS6.
Horsepower is between 145 and 165.

The only w codes i have are WS3 WS4 WS8 WU1 and W62. i will measure the sway bar and see how big it is. thanks for the reply, i just got this car not too long ago and i really want to make it as nice looking and as powerful as i can, in a couple weeks i am getting it painted and changing the valve seals. i am thinking about new exhaust, my friend has a flowmaster on his 91 rs and it sounds good. any suggestins about that, how does my car compare to his? the engines look exactly the same except for the tbi carb difference. isnt the LO3 and LG4 very similar?
