) Lets just hope I can hit 13's with this )That would be nasty at the track. Also, don't forget supporting mods like Clutch, axles and cutting down on wheel hop.

I installed an m62 on a 2005 cavalier. no mods except a catback and intake, even had the gm canned tune. it threw down 215 ish and it smoked my SS/SC when i was on the stock pulley. I'd hate to see what it could do with a better tune and header-back exhaust.

) Lets just hope I can hit 13's with this )I would seriously doubt 13's with that setup. if you have an auto i would expect mid-high 14's, and if you have a manual low-mid 14's. i'd be really shocked to see a 13 run though.

NOT to talk **** or anyhting but you did say Where are my intelligent members? but you keep asking what about this or this or that, look the 2.2 cobalt was not made to haul ass or go fast thats not what they had in mind when making this car, all the bolt ons and intake and exhaust and all of thoes things are made to make your car RUN BETTER not RUN FASTER, these things are just putting the motor at ezzzz, yes they do jump numbers a lil on a dyno, but to get what you are wanting you need a bigger better powerplant or a power adder, but yet adding superchager or turbo, you are going against the reason for the car. to get a 2.2 to run with a 2.0t you are going to need time and MONEY, but heres a hint go buy a ss/tc
for the most part, these ecotecs are almost identical. its no harder to make power with one of them than it is with another....

thanks for the back up hunter....yeah you know what maybe F/I is the way to go..but after reading some of what these guy wrote in the past If I fully put forged internals in as what I stated I would be able to run a nice shot on the setup that I have and umm I forgot who asked but yes I do have the auto. seriously though I dotn appreciate the flaming or bashin you dont like what I have to talk about dont look at the thread. Hence I look for the people with knowledge to help out with newbs such as Hack,Hunter,Sentry,Illmatics

hey man i feel the same way you do.........dont beef up the engine and just do bolt ons and a tune.......the save your cash and get a SS/TC........its a much better platform........to make your 2.2 what you want it performance wise......well its cheaper to get an SS/TC
as far as the SAI delete i need mine done so if we team up and do the research and find a place we can make the trip together

So, you couldn't make your 2.2 better with 10 grand to boot?
With the amount of money you would spend on that 22-23k SS/TC you could make your 2.2 a fully built drag car with the suspension swap and everything.
Now, you won't get the aesthetic advantages like the seats/sound system, but most people replace that anyways.

point is, you can always buy a better car for more money. at that rate, why mod your car at all. why mod the tc when for a smilar price difference you can get an evo? why mod an evo when you can get a c6? why mod a c6 when you can get a z06? it keeps going up, and up, and up.
dump a nice sized turbo on your 2.2, and then see where the dollar per dollar is.

so again... for a few grand more you can dollar for dollar get more hp with other cars than a tc... so why mod the tc, why not just save money for a better car?
