You might be able to get away with it. Not 100% sure.

 

I'll Save you some Effort the Patriot Stage2 Head comes with A Full Ferrara Valvetrain you just need to put Cams in it.

Nope 11:1 is the highest if my math was right, you can go on pump gas.

 

i already have the valvetrain n cams.

thanks for the info

 

Ive actually looked into doing this. Its about $13k (thats $13,000) to complete the motor, that without labor. to get a full N/A in the 13's. It was actaully 13.2. But uh if ya wanna turn a $10 k car into a $30K car that has a trade in value of $4k, go for it.

 

how do you get $13K?

i have most off of that list and spent at most $3K and the rest that i need is $3K at most and that includes all labor

 

How much would a standalone end up running? I'm guessing big $$.

 

Not really...but if you want a quality one, go with MSD Digital Programmable 7 4cyl...that'll set you back about $800 but you can find some for $500.

 

well im going with megasquirt/smt-6 and i think its $1000. i asked sway awhile back but forget exactly the cost. ill be lettin u kno soon bout the manifold but im still unsure of its lack of low end power. im still doing math to see if ill be able to tune to keep some low end power

 

Not as bad as I thought. What about labor and tuning time though? Is that probably where the big cost is?

 

is that better? and is it a stand alone that is compatible with the 2.2?

 

It's the standalone used on all the pro drag cobalts...I'd say it's pretty damn good .

 

lol yea id have to agree with u on that one then. its cheaper than megasquirts?

second motor, i know a guy who has had a shop for 15+years (does most the work for guys that race at pittsburgh raceway park and that travel to drag) and is really good work, cheap and since i know him from a few guys at work hes givin me a good discount. $50 to bore, hone and install rotating assembly (which i paid $1100 for), small head job for $250, cams were $300, valves, springs, retainers were $400 and i got ss/sc injector kit for free from a friend, clutch n fly were $650 total and injen cost me $150 as the full exhaust cost $600.

now i need dss lvl 2 axles, stand-alone (msd lol) and i should have my list completed

most of the parts woulda been put on my car anyway whether i built or not so i didnt even really consider them as a cost for the build

 

Dude how close do you live to Indiana, PA? I'll be moving there this summer!

 

oh hell yes, i wished i lived by u n sway lol cuz i know that u guys are very knowlegdable about the 2.2s. i live in irwin. slowboy racing takes me like an hour to get there but i may move in with my brother who lives like 20 mins closer to rt 22. where at u moving by?

 

you're going to use a standalone and piggyback at the same time?

 

nope, im selling the aem f/ic i was gonna use the aem to control fuel and gm cam gears to adjust timing, i thot it would maybe work but i said **** it n now im just gonna do tuning the right way

 

The Red Cavalier on our home page www.allecotec.com is running a fully built all motor engine.... Currently he is running 13.40s and 13.50s with stock intake manifold / tb setup with a pacesetter header.

A new header was just built for the car and right now we are working on getting a better intake manifold setup for the car. The car is also going to be running the DFI Gen 7 kit with a full MSD ignition system as well.

The engine has custom 12:1 compression pistons but within the next month or so we will have another engine ready for the car which should have a much higher compression with a much larger bore size revving 9500rpm with different cams.

I'll do my best to keep you guys updated... pending the driver wants the new info out there....

 

are they running 12:1 on pump gas or race gas?

also, what RPM are they taking the motor to right now?

 

how much hp is it putting down? and i was also wondering on the race/pump gas and what msd ignition are you using?

 

Currently a mix of 93 and some 104.... new engine full c16

 

Lol, you say rt 22 like I know where that is. But I'll be moving to Indiana, PA. Bout an hour 20 min north east of Pittsburgh. I should be there by end of July at the latest but we'll see how that goes. Sorry to threadjack...

 

haha yea i always talk to ppl like they know where im talking bout, it pisses my girl off lol. dont worry bout the threadjack. why u movin out here?

you do any sponsorships? lol

 

Select few only.

 

thats what i figured. i still am lookin to spend about 5 grand but idk if you have all that im looking for. and it seems like your more with cavaliers/sunfires on the suspension and other stuff

will dss axles work with my car? would i need the intermediate shaft?

and i liked ur n2o video. u need to teach me how to do that lol

 

Send me an email or a PM it will be much easier than talking on the forums.
