Custom downpipe and 2.5" Exhaust
SS/SC injectors w/ cav/sunfire harness
tune via HPT for injectors and raise rev limit to 7K
75 shot of nitrous

13 sec. 2.4...priceless

I don't think you'll be boosting a 2.4 with 2500 unless you're going with used parts, have connections or are building some of it yourself (charge pipes, exhaust)

yes he wants a 2.0 but he was wondering if the 2.4s had a chance at anything

also he was wondering if 2.4s can come white

and he would have a little more than 2500 to spend on the 2.4 if he got one... that was how much he quoted me on the 2.0 though

yes they come in white, honeslty if he were to boost a 2.4 motor he would be pushing 300whp without other mods.... id go 2.4 and a turbo...

a yellow ss/na was following me the other day going around a turn doing about 90mph, and he lost control and did a nice 720 on the highway and slid about 50 yards into the median. he still had dealer plates on it therefore(stock). so if he wants to put 300+whp on a 2.4, you might want to consider some suspension mods as well. but his $$$, i could care less what the kid gets, but imo, its worth getting the 2.0.

buddy there is no way he will hit 13s with those mods, Mid 14s if hes lucky on a good day. I think you mistyped.

oh wait! you did say 75 shot, nevermind. lol cheater....

are you retarded or was that just a bad joke? that is OVER 100HP more than stock...if you can't hit a 13 on those mods then you should buy a bike or a truck or take the bus.

and no I didn't mistype, I know my ****.

anyway, if he wants a supercharger (for some unknown reason) then it is a complete waste of time to get anything other than a 2.0

easy buddy, no need to get offenssive. i was just messing around. some people need to chiiiillll. im sure 13.999 is possible on a really good day, but id have to see it. im sure you do know your ****, when is the last 2.4ss you ran down the track with a 75shot? all im trying to say is IMO, its not worth it. there are better cars out there.

I'd say a 2.4 and F/i it... you should easily be pushing 300Hp .... i'm going to put some F/i on my 2.4... it gonna be sick as hell.... save up the extra grand and you'll be hitting close to 13s you'll love it and you'll be unique.. f*** getting the 2.0 a 2.4 with F/i will make you much happier approximately the same price if you work it correctly...
