180 hp n/a is still a highly optimistic goal for a 2.2

 

I thought the LE5 and the LAP intake manifolds are the same size.

 

lap and le5 have same top end

 

so ur saying u only have 156hp when u come stock with 155 u gain 1hp from ut tb full exhaust and intake?

 

i thoguht zzp sells cams from the 2.2

 

i believe these would work wouldnt they - LE5 Performance Camshafts #04-02-00691

 

156whp, stock is 155hp at the crank

 

My buddy threw an LSJ TB on it, and it gained some good HP.

BTW, the Injen intake is crap. The TB connector is way to restrictive, you will need to replace it with a Mandrel bent 90degree.

 

LAP's have cam sensors so no it will not work. No one sells cams for the LAP.

 

Thanks you everyone for your help. For now I have decided to go for the goal of 170hp overall. I think a gain of 15hp is reachable for me. So what else would I need other than full exhaust and intake to get to my goal.

 

i made 161 whp/ 148 tq untuned at zzp

short ram intake, 2.4 intake manifold, and full exhaust

 

You just need to get a cam sensor pressed on the intake cam i believe

 

IIRC LE5's have cam sensors

 

dark child- how did you only run a 14.5 i ran a 14.7 with just intake header exhaust tune and 2.4tb and intake mani with my interior????

 

I vote supercharger

 

14.7 in an na 2.2? on dr's or street tires?

 

Probably should have mentioned that wasn't me. I just found it on Youtube and thought I would post it in this thread. I personally think 180hp can be reached.

 

My friends 2.2 g5 ran a 14.3. All motor. He's a 5 speed. Header intake tune catback stage 2 clutch light weight flywheel and pully

 

^ stripped interior too? Seems like a fast time

 

No. He didn't take anything out

 

are you talking about the guy with the ion 2.2? if you are he stripped EVERYTHING, including the side mirrors, vinyl over the grills. and he had drag radials when he ran 14.7. he now has cams and the lightweight flywheel and whatever else and is in the low 14's

and hes from somewhere in french canada

 

Um no I'm talking about one of my best friends with a 2.2 orange g5. He lives in Dallas...he ran a 14.3 with the mods I listed.

 

lowered tire pressure on proxies and we all have to remember depending on the sea level of the track your times will change

 

Timeslip? Very hard to beleive. I was fully bolted and tuned and could only squeak a 14.90 on street tires before i supercharged.

 

Yes he has like 4 time slips with the exact same times. And the number on his car. He ran a 14.8 and then he put his stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel on and he went back and ran 14.3.
