Remove resistor behind battery (no hp increase, search to find out what it really does)
Aluminum foil intake insulation (5hp max)
Switch to Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil (5hp max)
New exhaust (5-10hp max)

Hyperground wires have been shown to work on several different cars. 5 hp on the dyno has been shown on WRXes. I think SVXes have a pretty anemic ground path for spark discharge. I made a set of "hyperground" wires from some big speaker cable. I think it cost a total of about $40. I grounded to the battery the bolts holding the coils onto the cylinder heads. I used 4 cables, 2 on each side.
Also, along the lines of maintenance, I suggest cleaning the throttle body to get back some lost hp. Several people have mentioned that their car runs much better after they have cleaned the throttle body on their SVX.
Another item to look at is the throttle position sensor. If its not working properly, your ecu is not getting accurate info about the throttle position.
