200whp 2.2
just a quick question. is it possible to get 200whp out of this engine without any type of forced induction and without a built motor? if so, what would be needed?

yea sorry i'll admit i was too lazy to search. i usually do.
so what would be the maximum horsepower of say a fully-bolted 2.2 with a somewhat aggressive tune then?

not much to gain unless you go one of the routes that you don't want to.
For a mustang, you have the wrong model cobalt. You'd need at least a 2.4 with a lot of work done to it.

Just save up and get a turbo kit or an m62 when you can. If your goal is a v6 mustang, here's a little insight for you. I raced a friend with one and all I had was my stage 2 and an intake. We stayed even through first gear, and when we shifted into second, I left him behind to the point where I didn't even get past 60 before he shut down.

are a nuts? a 1999-2004 v6 mustang is a 16 second car. High 15's if its a manual with a good driver. Basic bolton 2.2 cobalt should be able to take it. And a STOCK 2.4 would beat them

I love how everyone says you have the wrong model... You can push more hp than an ss/sc with there supercharger. Just save untill you can charge. Also you can run a 16.5 with a cobalt ls bone stock if your aa good driver.

YEah you can
BUT
you pretty much maxed our motor out then..well you can stage 2 but you may start snapping connecting rods
The SS is a better platform, but hell mod what you have who cares.

rofls, you will be lucky to get past the point of puttin on a stage2 pulley, injectors, and a tune before you break ****. the 2.2 internals are only good to what about 250 hp? a lot of turbo swapped lsj guys or even tvs guys are way passed that number

V6 Mustangs (except newer ones) are ****. Ive beaten an intake/full exhaust auto like he was standing still and ive beaten a stock manual V6 also like it was standing still and i only have intake and exhaust no tune. So if your looking to race cars like that then you should be able to afford the basic bolt ons with your job if you can save a bit.
Take some advice that i was first told on here when i had a shitty job and was borke but wanted to mod my car.

Also, take a look at some of our supporting vendors, internals are not cheap at all.
