Bolted 2.2s

[Fletch627]

If you don't mind me asking, how much have you put into it? I have an 07 LT sedan and have only put a catback exhaust on it, but eventually wanna put a CAI and new header on it..

 

[BankDude]

he's over the 5k mark i'm sure

 

[08Sedan]

Drum did you have problems with not enough low down power before going boost?

 

[06CobaltLS]

Evan(drum) has like 8k wrapped up in his balt.

 

[Drumrush]

im just over 8k. and before boost i had very little power before 3500 rpm. that was with a 2.4 tb and intake manifold

 

[BankDude]

yea 2.4 intake manifold definitely doesn't get it's power until that range. i wish i still had my dyno sheet from when i was fully bolted. just got dyno'd today being l61 supercharged on stage 2 pulley and only put out 210/198.

 

[08Sedan]

That's considerably lower than I was expecting Lol

So this brings me back to my original issue - only having power in the high rpms. How can I remedy this?

 

[Drumrush]

Boost lol. Or just skip the 2.4 stuff

 

[Fletch627]

08Sedan, how much did you spend on the intake and header?

And n00b question, what's the point of deleting the cat? just makes it louder, right?

 

[BankDude]

it frees up the flow through your exhaust. yes it makes it louder, but will also add a few horsepower
