only the sports and previous ss's have the 2.4. The solstice also comes with it along with some ions, the sky and i think the HHR, but im not sure about that one. Personally, on most 4 cylinders, going N/A is much more expensive than going super/turbocharger and i would never do it.

To get any kind of decent power gains N/A (225HP range) you're going to end up throwing out your warranty anyways..
via bolt ons, cams, tune or bottle fed...

Yeah, if you want bang for the buck, supercharging is a fairly easy route to go. Since all the 2.0 guys sell of their superchargers + supporting hardware when they go turbo. There's also turbo kits out there that you can get between 3-4k .

Exactly what i was going to say, TO make any decent power even N/A your going to throw your warranty out the window, It would be easier to just boost it

My advice.. From doing it..
Take the money you'd spend on forced induction or major engine mods and buy either a) a car that comes from the factory that way or b) buy a nice project car.
I think you can't get over 200 whp without getting in to at least motor work, and anything less than that wouldn't be overly noticeable, just noisier (that is IMO), and really not worth any kind of money.
I mean, full bolt-ons (without a tune) and you're looking at less than 15 whp gain for more than $1,500. Considering you can do a supercharger or turbo build and pick up 75-100 whp for maybe $2,000.
Either keep it stock, or go all out.
