yeah first idea is to utilize spell check. It's alot easier to answer you when we can understand you.
You took your car to a dyno and got 220? Do you have a vr4? I thought you had an NA...if so, then your car wouldn't be dynoing at 220..because the dyno measures power at the wheels...a first gen vr4 might come up with 220hp on a dyno...not an NA.
Did you put on the long tube 3sx headers? What headers? Also, intake, and exhaust are magically gonna give you a ton more power. They are boltons, and therefore you can expect minimal gains on your NA. You may have picked up 10-15hp. It also may have been in your upper rpms where you gained the power, and perhaps you lost some torque down low from opening up the exhaust too much. But all of this is speculation because you aren't giving us any specific information.
If I understand all this correctly, you tossed on some intake and exhaust mods, and thought you'd gain ridiculous power...and as far as you can tell it doesn't feel much faster. That's normal.

obx headers could be a problem... headers are not something to get in a cheap brand imo... but that question came up awhile ago.

It's cool if english isn't your primary langauge, I totally understand that situation.
did you dyno to get 220? Because when you dyno a car, it measures power at the wheels, so you wouldn't come up with 220...it would be significantly less due to drivetrain loss.
Did you even dyno at 215? I'm really wondering where these numbers are coming from? So let's start there.
Did you ever dyno the car? Before or after?
