hey bro... ive got an 08 LT too. u can go full bolt on parts i.e. headers, downpipe, intake, cat back, intake manifold, throttle body from a 2.4L, spark plugs, and a good tune. that would prolly get u 220hp but not 200whp. thats pretty much how ive built my car. its not bad but im gonna supercharge mine evenually...

I would say port and polish the head, get a full 3in header back exhaust with no cats. Youll need a nice cold air intake and fairly large cams but it should be doable. Im into hondas and its fairly easy to get 220-230 from a 1.6L so I dont see why its so hard for a 2.2.

you MIGHT see 180-185 crank hp and then compensate for whp from that

I guess you have a reading issue:
Damn it you beat me too it.
I currently run Comp stage 3s in my own car and if you daily drive I dont advise them. In city driving down in the low rpms you can fell the powerband isn't there but right at 4500RPM and the car screams and pulls all the way to redline(mine is set at 7500 comp quotes powerband to 8k).

i honestly dont see why you cant get 200whp or more, i know a few guys here witht he H22A (JDM H22) making 225-255whp.
the H22 is still a 2.2 and what most of them have done is this
11:1 compression P5P pistons, OEM type S
Head milled 0.030", yielding roughly 11.7-11.8:1
Skunk2 Pro1 cams
Head ported and polished, 5 angle valve job, port work by Dave Lind
Skunk2 modified intake manifold, ported and reworked, S2000 ported throttle body
10 lb chromoly flywheel, unorthodox crank pulley
4-2-1 JDM Feels header, full 2.5" exhaust, no cat
Tuned with CromePro, made 220whp and 158wtq
the ones who changed their cranks made a bit more power

For me N/A is so much fun but there are so many much faster cars in my area that make me want more, and i'm already on a built motor and alot of nitrous not to mention if you do it right later on down the road you could add a supercharger without a problem.

But it would not be efficient to build a high compression n/a motor, and then decide to drop a turbo on it.
