I'm staying N/A with my 2.2L ION
Completed mods as follows...
AEM CAI
Taper-bored throttle body
Ported exhaust manifold (going on next week)
Customcargrills.com lightweight crank pulley
Modified DC Sports cobalt cat-back exhaust
Ported and Polished head with complete valvetrain, shaved deck (going on next week)
Progress rear anti-sway bar
Eibach Springs
17" Drag DR-12's with Falken ziex 512's
MK1 short shifter (B&M cavalier knockoff shifter)
Powerslot slotted rotors and Hawk pads (going on next week)
Torque Forward engine dampener (Ingalls Engineering dampener)
Construction grade poly-filled transmission mount (Pending shipment arrival)
I think thats about all of it...

I just want to know performance (intake, exhaust, suspension, engine, transmission, etc.). I would also like to know where you may have gotten your parts, price, and power gains, if possible.
Thanks

On a side note, these next 2 weeks will be a major change for me. More on that when I'm done.

i've done basically free mods for now, because bills are freakin expensive!! anyways, i painted my engine covers, fuse box, and intake to match the car... and just debadged the beotch... looks so much cleaner in the back now, i love it. i'm planning on eventually doing i/h/e, springs, maybe tint... possibly a turbo or supercharger when they come out and are found to be reliable...

Just bought it two days ago.
Engine:
Removed all the crappy plastic
Coming soon:
Tint
Stereo
Intake
Full Exhaust
50 shot dry & call it a day
Everything will be done when I get the money to buy a spare part to make a run if I have to get warranty work done. For example. If I have a o2 sensor. I would slap the factory exhaust and manifold back on.
Oh don't forget to add the dyno tune with a laptop. Getting it done for $50 plus dyno costs.

Only thing is, I'd make it a wet 50 shot or maybe even a wet 75 shot just for safety and reliability issues.
