What downpipe is best for the 2.2?
Right now my setup is a DC Sports Header SS/SC DP and a DC Sports Cat Back Exhuast
Which is better Catless or a High Flow Cat?
btw i do not want it to sound raspy

XM15

If you don't want it to sound raspy, go with a high flow cat. I would look at CA or ZZP.

ok thanks bro and i do not know if my aeroforce interceptor gauge is right or not but when i kick it reads almost 150hp do you think that that is correct for my mods

XM15

That sounds about right. With an intake, 2.4 manifold, and full exhaust you should be right around 150 give or take a few ponies.

yeah well what can i do not besides boost to bump me up to about the 200hp mark do you know?

XM15

In order to get to 200whp you would have to do some major modifications.

Something like this:

Patriot Performance Stage 2 Head
Upgraded valvetrain for high revs (Probably 8K)
Higher compression pistons
Stage 2 or 3 cams
Tuning capabilities


Or, you could just buy a 75 shot of nitrous and save yourself the hassle.

I got 152 HP @ 6300 Rpm's on my Aeroforce Gauge so Yeah that sounds right since our mods are similar

gtxsport11

do you think that my 2.2auto is gonna be safe with a 75 shot?

XM15

The convention seems to be that you can run a 50 shot all day long, and use a 75 shot pretty frequently as well. It took a much bigger shot to break the rods in the 2.2 when GM did their testing. (IIRC ~150)

ok thanks for the info i will prob give that some major thinking about goin spray

is it best to use a wet or a dry shot?

XM15

Wet FTW




Thats why Stage 3 uses a Dry shot. Good old GM.

TALON

a wet shot is a lot safer than dry!!!
therefore most will say it is better!!!

gtxsport11

ok thanks bro and i checked out patriot perfromance they have some good stuff for the 2.2 thx for all of the info
hope to break the 200 hp mark soon in a ls

Just be warned that unless you are going to seriously increase your redline, or go f/i, the Patriot heads won't be maximized. I believe Ion ninja has a stage 2 head, and he mentioned that his powerband had shifted to the higher RPMs quite drastically. Low end performance is greatly reduced if you stay n/a. If you don't want to dig too deep, go with the nitrous.
