Haven't seen any specs on it, but if I had to guess, the "safe" limit is probably ~250HP (crank) on stock internals.

The IC tubes are under 2". The end that you can see in the pic is a goofy elbow that they use to connect to the IC. There is no coupler or clamp- just an o-ring and a retainer clip.

300whp should be within reason.

It's not very good. A single gear pull from 40-80 at 20psi has temps around 40-45 degrees over ambient at the end of the pull. A 20-100 run at 14-15psi had 120 degree charge temps in the intake with air temps at ~50 degrees in the dyno room. By comparison, my LNF would be around 55 degrees at the end of that pull.

According to GM, it will take whatever you throw at it.

Dropping the catback was worth 5whp. Open cutout about 6-7 more, which is what the DP gains will be.

With the iron block and forged rods, I'm expecting it to handle quite a bit more than that.

No, but that gives me an idea. "Street race horns!" Hit the button and it automatically gives 3 honks...

Well, if it has forged rods then it is probably within reason that it could handle up to ~400HP at the crank on stock internals.

you guys have an overlay of stock/modded dynos? just to see the power over the full band

vince was saying it falls off pretty hard after 5k or so but the turbo isn't falling off

it could very well be a cam profile issue that is causing it also the idea was it could be because it cant breath well enough ( though you still have stock cp and IC) so that would still be hurting flow

just trying to see how power under the curve was changed

what have you gained just about 50 hp and like 50 wtrq?

the cruze should handle just about whatever you throw at it engine wise

GM has already planned that for the 2012 model. Except it won't be called an Aveo anymore, it will now be called Sonic. They did this because the name had a bad rep and they want to start fresh.

Actually I read an article and it said the name was being changed because it was to hard to pronounce lol.

Wow..... That is more of a difference than what I was thinking it would be. You going to end up trying other coolig methods? Also, tell Ryan "Beef" says hi!

The real question is though, what is it going to take to get to 300whp?
