So going off of knowledge, that hp at the crank is higher than at the wheel, 2.2's have roughly 120 horsepower at the wheel completely stock correct?

What could/should I do to add roughly 30 more whp?

Intake
Exhaust
Headers
Full electrical tuneup?

What else is out there, that is DYNO PROVEN to add horsepower, and not just " oh I think it made a difference" heh

I also need to work on traction, cause I already spin all the way through first.

all of the above.. the intake wont get you but a few hp and a full exhuast will probably get you around 10 to 15hp and as far as the tuning your sol still the tuning from clear image becomes avalible unless your willing to get a piggy or standalone.. you could also get a 2.4 mani and add a lil power with that too..

as far as traction goes get some good z rated tires..

What yellow said. CAI, full exhaust (this includes the B-pipe aka downpipe), 2.4 manifold for peak power. Also, there should be some basic tuning available soon.


Do you drive on sand, or do you rev to 4K every time you go into first? The 2.2 isn't that prone to wheel spin.

speed ratings dont mean anything when refering to traction, get R-compounds.

but the z rated tires are usually always a softer compound though. thats why i said z rated.

you'd be surprised how easy it is to spin the wheels lol

Check out these new pulstar spark plugs they are supposed to add 10 more HP. Not a joke!!!

they might be worth a try. im kinda curious, maybe il pick a set up and see what kind of difference they make? idk, they sound interesting.

motor/tranny mounts... they dont add power, but they let you harvest the power you already have

07cobaltguy

thats what i hear, im really interested to see how my new prothane mounts workout.

ROFL! The hell it isn't! When i am at the track, after i do my burn out i still spin through first and partway into 2nd when i am launching between 1800-2000rpm, if i try launching under that i get wheel hop from hell. Just my experience though.......Of course the pos contis don't help that problem either

Borderlin3

Yeah, If I launch it around 3k I spin all the way through first, havent tried going to second cause I ran out of parking lot lol.

I imagine if the tires spin this much, I wouldnt want them to grip right away, im sure the torque would bend something. Not that we have 400lbs of torque, but the tires sure roast for 150lbs.

145 hp stock. I raced my gfs stock LS with my Vibrant Header/Cat-back and u can see my hp gain

get solid tranny mounts, solid engine mount, they make a diffrence when you launch, i have solid ttr tranny mounts and a ignalls damper, i launch at 2k rpm's, and i make a good launch...and i have stock sized tiresw, mine are like 195's, forgot the rating though, umm, 139mph i believe
