dude... read the thread... he is not saying the car is slow compared to the 2.4 or 2.0's he is saying its slow compared to other 2.2's.
basically it would be like you going onto a chevy forum and wondering why your car is so slow compared to other 2.4's and having a corvette guy chime in and saying "cuz its a 4 cylinder" you're not helping.

With the exhaust and intake, you should have about 25 or so more horses.
I was told in a car that weighs 2800, it takes 30 or so horses to shave off 1 second on the 0-60 time. You weigh a little more than that and I don't think you have not gotten to 30 horses yet (could be wrong).
which exhaust and intake would you need for the extra hp?

On the 2.2 an intake will give more like 5whp and a cat-back more like 8-10 whp. I have a full exhaust and CAI, and I put down 140whp which is about 165 to the crank. Thats 20hp over the factory flywheel rating. I'd highly doubt someone can squeeze 30hp/whp? with just an intake and exhaust.
Thanks again for that, lsj. Its great to see you support us 2.2 guys.
