The 2.2 5 speed is good for around 220 trq. I'm assuming it can easily take 250+ with a good clutch.

 

Yeah, but all you need to do is upgrade the clutch and flywheel

 

with a good clutch and flywheel, ms ure it can handle more, remeber this is the same tranny the cavalier guys are running, the main draw back is the clutch, its more expensive for a 5spd to go fast, the auto can take a good 300+, but the stock 5spd will slip before you hit 200

 

only upgrade the clutch and flywheel? haha i work for a chevrolet dealership and that job under warrenty time is 9.9 hours. multiply that by the dealer rate and see how much that comes up to! thats the only downfall about a clutch upgrade. its not something most can do in the driveway, and you got to fork over some cash to get it done...

 

all you need is some tools, a little mechanical knowledge, an engine hoist and a weekend.
we did one on an ss/sc in my driveway

 

ha prove right there

 

?? beh?? attempting to say "proof"?? :P

 

ok well its been done in a driveway

 

lawl, i was just checking
it wasnt too hard either, only bitch thing was a bolt on top of the tranny and having to take apart the fuse box

 

haha yeah the cams shouldn't be that hard

 

i wasnt saying that id make more with my auto im just wanting to see how much is lost in between the two

 

nope, should be able to get r done :P

 

Yeah just make sure you time it correctly. haha

 

thats the only part that im "worried" about but i think i should be ok, i have the how to on here and if all else fails ill pm/call you

 

yea you can call me. i've done it twice now so i think id have a pretty good idea, and the car is still running now so thats a +

 

lawl, ya

anyone know if a lightweight alternator pulley would do any good ????

also just purchased a lightweight alt pulley and lightweight crank pulley
figured if im going to spend the money for a dyno tune and the dyno time i might as well get the most out of it

 

those wont add hp, atleast not a lot, but they will help rev faster, mix that with a lightweight flywheel and ur in for some fun

 

lol, no lightweight flywheel, but this will show me how fast the power comes, im not expecting it to add HP, just change how fast and where i get it at

 

i know, i have the MRZ udp member? i was the dyno tester

 

i know lol
you showed an approx 3 whp gain yes?

OMG OMG OMG

i cant wait to get this all installed

 

lol the bitch is getting the crank pulley off if you don't got air tools

 

i have an impact wrench

 

i used a electric impact :p crank pulley didn't give me any lip

 

lol, i have a pnuematic one and an electric lol

 

alright, so injectors are in and teh dyno tune is sched for tues 3/17
ill have to rewire my harness for the injectors, but my car will be down for 2 days anyways due to new cams, tb, injectors, etc until vince stops by and flashes me right before we head to the dyno for a tune (will just do a rough "make it run" tune since the dyno is 1.5 miles away if that).

now...to inlist some local install help
