I keep seeing people posting about a kit that makes our 2.2L as fast as the 2.0L SC's. What is this kit everyone is speaking of? I know its a stage kit..I think. But where is it found?

Stage kits are only for the ss/sc cars. The only kits you might be refering to are the garret and alpine turbo kits.

Ouch, that sux. I guess my 2.2L Auto is doomed to be slow the rest of its days..

UNLESS, some rich people would like to donate to the Kerley needs a new turbo fund.

there is a 2.2 up in PA right now that was at the drag strip and blew the doors off a stage 2 SS/SC. the kid left before the guys got a chance to ask him what was under the hood.

you want to play? you gotta pay. there really is no "cheap" way to get performance unless you want to buy those 700 ebay kits and blow your engine up or worse, get ripped off by them not sending you a damn thing

everyone and their mom will have a V6 camaro lol. there isnt a way to tell if its a V6 or a V8 with out poping the hood. they arnt releasing a z28 model or an SS model till the next model year. they have said that the v8 model will have the LS2 6.0 400hp engine

not to mention that GM is segesting the v8 model retail for 38k to 42k. thats a high enough price to keep a crap ton of people from buying a v8 model

Dont buy a skittle... God those things are everywhere. And your not doomed. You can use an AEM FIC to tune fuel and ignition and get a tranny cooler. Just wait about a month, there will be soo much stuff out you will have trouble picking what platform you want to go with.

you could get an SCT flash dealer to custom tune the car for you now that they can tune any 2.2 w/ a manual trany. or HPtuners can tune your 07 computer. the trick will be getting it to read the boost since our computers dont have the boost option in the OS of the ECU

You will be able to tell if it is a v8 by trim.

yeah, the exhaust pipes and the ground affects

the v6 looks like it rides higher even though it dont because of the ground affects

there is that fake 4 inch exhaust outlet that is on a 2 3/4 exhaust system on the V8's the v6 isnt duel nor its a 4 inch outlet so i guess there are small ways to tell. just not the obvious such as a z28 badge or an SS badge
