What are you going for with this motor? NA or boost? Your not going to see any power gains, maybe a tad bit lower power because the internals are slightly heavier because they are forged. Your going to need to run boost to see any power gains.

and i mean, i hope u KNOW what you are doing to build the motor, rather it being that you are building it yourself or having someone do it...Just because you are building the motor with better parts doesnt mean it cant blow!!

Following PROPER engine building guidelines.
Just because I've rebuilt engines at my previous job(none came back) does not mean I'm just going to jump in on a engine built that I want.
When you get into aftermarket parts a bunch of things change. So it's best to know what you are doing and/or have someone with knowledge there as well helping you.

Sounds like a cool build man. Just curious what made you want to stay at stock compression and turbo? A lot of guys are runing a lower compression with there turbo setups. Im going to be running stock compression on my build also except I am going to spray either a 100 or 150hp shot through it. haha hopefully it will hold!
Keep us up to date!!

suspension? why bother when you can build the motor, i mean unless you play on autocrossing the car, the stock stuff will be good enough for dragging. yeah so there will be a little wheel hop but its a ff car what do you expect. as for cams according to my buddy who works for gm, the 2.2l head is the same from 05 and up...
one more thing, iif you are seriously thinking about still running 10 - 1 compression, you probably wont want to go over 10 psi of boost or you're going to be rebuilding your motor sooner than expected. don't get me wrong you will probably get close to 300 hp but it can start getting iffy.
