Honestly I'm kinda scared right now. I have so much temptation to buy more go faster mods for my balt but I dont want it to blow. Any suggestions on how much more this car can handle? What mods can I add and still be safe?

Current Mods are:
M62 SC,Injen CAI,OTTP 4THGen H/E,2.8 PULLIED, 60lb Injectors, 2.25 catback,Ingalls TD.

Meth if anything without numbers its hard to predict. I cracked a piston with bolt ons, for perspective.

Full build and ditch the Heaton.

yea ditch that whiny troll under the hood and go turbo. but i wouldnt go over 250 whp with a stock l61 and you are gettin pretty darn close if your not there already...

Lol, that's exactly what im trying to do

eh, yea sorta. I already knew that I was pushing it bt didnt know by that much

why?

I want to go turbo but this is an automatic balt

Automatic is stronger than the manual offered for your model. Granted there are guys out there running a good deal more toruqe than the "rated" number on wikipedia so its not exactly accurate. The F35 that the SS/SC and SS/TC have are only rated at 260ft/lbs but guys are running double that with no apparent troubles.

If you're serious about wanting to make more power though pick up a GenII block out from an LE5 or LNF motor, they're stronger blocks, not sure then the GenI block gives but it'll be sooner than a GenII.

Block is not the issue here, it the non-forged internals that will fail first.

Im trying to order them but damn stupid ass paypal wont let me ffffuuuuuccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Surprised you don't have a aftermarket exhaust mani or dp. The stock system is super restrictive.

I want to get it but Im afraid to..I will after I upgrade though

If your that worried go back to the bigger pulley and get the exhaust your car needs to breather better.

I dont have a bigger pulley. I put this one on from the get go..Im tryna purchase the rods/piston kit but paypal is being a little b**ch...

just a friendly fyi, make sure you understand what your getting yourself into, bolt ons and motor internals are 2 different games, good luck man, post a build thread.

HyperMuffin

Well then if you want to keep the m62 I would suggest getting rods, pistons, exhaust mani, dp, 2.6 or 2.7, dual pass, and meth or e85.

Heat is your biggest concern.

A few members of J-Body.org have gotten their stock 2.2L61's up to ~300whp on turbo set-ups.

How long will it last is another question tho.

^on stock internals? not possible.

06_ion2

Go genII block if you go forged, 418whp isnt enough.

dandaman15

Its totally possible, its all about the tune.

To make decent power..

Sorry Tom your completely wrong. Quite a few have done it. Now they don't last forever but it has been done some have driven for months to almost a year.
