probably not on stock internals..best 2.2 coupe ran this
YzRider452,13.83@102.43 w/2.35 60',coupe,manual,I/H/DP/E/N20/ST

ss/sc and ss/tc will run much faster than that..w/o n20 and only with bolt ons

I did it.

I beat a kid with a 2.6, injectors, intake, and exhaust. He was running 14.50s all day while i was running 14.10s and 14.20s. We had the same trap speed though

with a nice shot of nitrous i think the 2.2 would have a great chance at running down even a modded 2.0. i see alot of 2.0s in the 14's low 14's but still 14's with a good driver great traction and some big top end power. hell there are a few turbo 2.2's that are putting down well over 240whp and over 240tq so that right there is more than most of the top dyno 2.0s

ya, thats my plan for tax returns. I have a **** ton of OT coming this friday and in 2 more weeks so ill have an extra 600+ dollars to spend. Im trying to buy a new intake manifold but debating on being the guinea pig for the ss/tc manifold or just going with HAHN's. I can get the ss/tc manifold for $350, and spend about 50-100 bux on welding in injector ports and id save a **** ton of money.

well ive had an experience racing a ss/sc against my ls on the street. and i watched the guy run a few times before we went at it. so from 0-60 my ls owned it, but as soon as he shifted into 3rd that sc kicked in and that was that. i think the guy launched to low. but from my personal experience an ls has kept up with a ss/sc.
