crappy factory tune and drivetrain loss..

 

This just in!

Factory horsepower ratings are taken at the flywheel

 

ass

i guess i just assumed it was the same as the ss.sc which is actually under rated from the factory numbers on average.

no need to get smart with me, ive been around here long enough.


questioned answered... thanks

 

And you just now figured out that only the SS/SC's are under rated?

Interesting.

 

honestly, i thought u were joking. but its all good. i try to stick to the point. i thought the numbers were decent considering all the stuff i had on my z24 cavy and it didnt even have this much at flywheel, and the fact i noticed some 2.2 guys saying with their mods they dyno more than a 2.4...

 

A fully bolted (I/H/DP/E/Mani) makes as much as a stock SS/NA or a little more.

We get about 180-190whp bolted with a tune.

 

well i never had a reason to look at the info on any of the other models other than the sc as thats what I have, but i've started to look into this one as my gf bought a sport.

sorry if i didnt know, damn it was an honest question.

 

Ok ok, I'll be nice now, but a bit of advice:

Lighten up, you gonan have a heart attack or something, it is just the internet

The auto sucks a decent amount of HP out these cars too...I watched a 2.4SS auto dyno 147 to the wheels completely stock

 

the highest guy on the list that has all that, has 152 and 142... and 180- 190 is impressive.. i plan on going with cams.. do u happen to know the link to the ones that work for the 2.4?

 

Lettme check another forum.

JBody performance has them, but I have heard nothing but not so great stuff about them...and they cost some $$$$

 

its all good

that's good to know. My gf did buy the auto, now i understand why it did feel slower than I expected.

 

shiftplus and mounts on that sucker would make it feel real good..

 

Intake and cat back do more than expected.

On the same dyno I dyno'd 167(5M)

I would expect 158-162 out of an auto

Here is the cam spec sheet:

Your best bet would be to do some research and get some OEM regrinds along with valve and valve springs...cams only make the powerband higher...and if you plan on revving higher better make it so you won't blow your **** up

 

ive heard of this shift plus... got a link to it? im lazy

which mounts?

 

just go to www.turbotechracing.com

You will find everything you need.

I suggest you get a CAI and a cat-back for it.

Trust me it is the easiest 10-15 whp ever

 

ok cool.

ya i did intake and exhaust on my car right aways, def makes a difference

 

If you plan on pushing the car hard I suggest looking into a tranny cooler for her auto.

Take out her snorkel gay thing in her passenger side fender...

 

i ordered that intake all the 2.2 guys are raving about. im gonna be the first 2.4 guinea pig. i dont believe in wasting $200 on piping with a filter anymore. they seem to back its durability and function now. on exhaust im just gonna get that 2.25 section switched to 2.5 like the rest and add a good magnaflow muffler. im still tryna figure a good header/dp combo. i was leaning toward pacesetter like i said, but i still dont know wut dp to use with it, also looking at the cobalt addiction header and xtc dp

i found the link to the cams. http://www.jbodyperformance.com/new/...Cobalt/Redline
although they are expensive i think they're worth it, and with all the bolt ons and a good tune i can pretty much keep my warranty by not goin in the shop boosted..

 

You get what you pay for.

I am not saying blow your money on the GMPP intake...it is not a bad piece...but I went with AEM.

GMPP cat backs are cheap...and a nice gain...W/E you do don't get bigger than 2.5" anything exhaust wise on an LE5...there is no point

 

of course.. its hard to mess up an intake tho. i can go make one and probably gain the same amount... i wanted the gmpp intake but im buying my friend's ITD. and i saw that it interferes with placement. did u see my exhaust thread? people in there were telling me how its not much of a difference between full catback and swapping that section out, the big thing is header and dp which is my dilemma..

 

As long as you stay away from the GMPP honed manifold bullshit you will be ok.

That thing is total waste of money.

My CA header with ZZP dp is freakin nice.

If i didn't have it I would have the ZZP mid length or the drool worthy Vibrant


But anything other than the GMPP and stock will be a HUGE improvement...our stockers look like toys

 

does ZZP dp direct bolt onto stock exhaust? after reading a lot of ur posts, im getting the CA header soon!

 

yea u got the CA v1 right?
