Trust me, I'd love to see you hit 190+hp because then it would be worth it for me to deal with cams, but I just dont think its gonna happen......
I am still really torn over cams and head work or an LSJ swap......
lolol, im guessing 180-190 with stg2 cams, intake mani, tb, injectors, lightweight pullies...ya
ced's website was showing a 13 whp increase UNTUNED with 2.2 tb. so if stg2 cams show a 12-16whp (guestimate as people with stg 1 show about 8-10) injectors will just allow it all to work..no more whp there, and pullies are good for a few ponies but more to improve off the line times due to rotational mass. we all also know that when you have more mods the increases are slightly better as i have already opened up the car to breath like no other...so i think with tuning it is DEF possible....we shall see though, only dyno proof will tell lol

I think an lsj swap would make for a serious sleeper 2.2.
If it were me, that's what I would do. I mean hell, you get hands on all of the new parts that are coming to all the rest of us, and there has to be a wrecked lsj out there somewhere around you.
