decided to s/c my 2.4 sedan

ok so i want to s/c my 2.4, like beck and others...i want a ported m62 with smaller pulley, cai, full exhaust/dp/header combo, and maybe later a 50 shot, but right now im saving money for it all and plan on doing it this summer. what range of hp am i looking at? im guessing around 230 somewhere, where can i get it tuned in MICH?, and what other performance can i do to add hp, cause i really want it around 250 on motor someday, let me know please just getting a lot of info on everything now while saving money.

Just make sure you get a clutch installed before everything.

Your tranny will thank me later.

250+whp is easily achievable with what you're looking to do. I pretty much have what you just listed and im pushing over 250 with a screwy tune.

yes, you will need a clutch for sure. just install the clutch at the same time or expect to do it a few thousand miles after.

awesome!

I'm in the process of retuning it to work without the boost fueler and I'm going to 60# injectors.

Car is running very strong though!

Yeah, it was my first time at the track.

I ran a 15.6 @ 90mph after having no traction in first.
second run was 16.2 @ 96

I need to badly work on my launches.

going back in a couple weeks to try and redeem myself!

I would get made fun of on so many levels if it was.

1) that 60 is ******* TERRIBLE

2)draggin a 600?

3) I ended up getting kicked off the track for trapping too high without leather pants on
