besides intake systems with K&N filters, exhaust systems or something larger like turbos whats the best way to get a few more horsepower out of my 2.2L Chevy Cavalier (2000)

If you just want a couple...pullies. Motor mounts also help.
If you want a few more, Crane rockers.
But, if you really want decent gains, you're going to need a ported head and a cam.

better a delay than a disaster.

rockers , better heads and cams u have to take to do a lot of work on the engine and engine mounts u gotta take the engine out, right?
my car is still a daily driver i drive 5 - 6 days a week to work and i need it to get around
not to many other bolt on like stuff, computer, electronics and ignition and spark upgrades that can be done?

I'mlearning about compact cars i am use to my old 86' chevy v-8 full size 4x4 sorry if i sound stupid about stuff ..

Nope just have to take off the head.

For simple bolt ons you can get a header, hi-flow cat, exhuast system, Throttle body. As for computer up grades there is next to nothing. Jet chips and Venom make a pack for our cars but from what is said it does nothing to an OBD2 car.

motor mounts you can do with the motor in the car.




If it doesnt break then you didnt drive it hard enough!

I drive an automatic, I'll race you... 1 hand and 1 foot.

oh i feel stupid now but if u just have to take off the heads i would be able to do that

i do want headers and high flow cats , cant afford those yet
last year i did get cat-back dual magnaflow exhaust system
how much do better throttle bodys usually run?

thanks
