I am curious as to how much HP you guys think this engine could put out. I love this car but would like even more ponies. A few questions arise tho'.
How much torque can the Kappa system take?
How much HP is possible using regular pump gas (91-93 oct)?
How deeply would you need to dig into the engine for more HP?
How much HP can you put through this transmission?
I have been looking at the GM performance websites. The 2.2L Ecotecs are being drag raced at 900+HP. I realize these are full race modded engines and chassis'. But is something much lower possible with the stock frame and engine configs. Maybe something in the 300-400HP range?
P.S. Thanks for the post to the parts locator web site. If I do start playing with engine mods, I will try to find a Ecotec to build ahead of time instead of tearing into my original. Yea I know I'm crazy.
