Thats a nice looking ride you got there. Night and day difference from when you got it. Im really digging those headlights.

Thanks man... its been a work in progress. biggest project yet is to come in feb.

any plans for turbo or S/C? ...def a lot of red going on lol Interesting choice of wheels with KMC Rockstars. I usually see them on trucks, havent seen them on a domestic compact application

yes, actually getting ready to order ZZP stage 1 super charger kit this winter.

Interesting stuff. play around with the pulley size? Not familiar with fwd setups, but would a s/c put you around 250-285whp? Because I'd imagine some head work and different pulley size would prob bring in more than that!

3" pulley at 9psi will set me at 225whp. that is the limit for the oem ecotec rods in my 2.2LAP... stage 2 adds 25whp with out internals and supporting mods. Stage 3 is where the big numbers com in.

interesting. I noticed theres a guy with a red Cavalier I think. he's turbo'd if i read his intro correctly. It'd be cool to see a highway pull (In Mexio lol) to compare turbo and supercharger on similar builds.

Yea, Eric. We finished his turbo kit last summer. It turn that car into a completely different animal
