I know slowolej has somehow manipulated his computer to accept 4 TBI injectors.
They apparently fit into the 2.2's fuel rail, but flow extremely high amounts at static (about 40psi) fuel pressure.
slowolej somehow manipulated his computer (don't ask me how) and then lowered his static fuel pressure to 20psi.
Of course that is on a 2nd gen, and he has spent a lot of time researching and figuring out the best solution.
so far that is the best answer I've heard, the top feed conversion is way too pricey in my eyes, and 4TBI injectors doesn't sound all too unreasonable.
I'm trying to figure out how realistic it would be to run a standalone that can adapt to such big injectors and such a low fuel pressure.
Right now that seems like the only option for us 3rd genners.
I'm waiting to hear back from Haltech on their E6GMX computer. Apparently it uses stock GM sensors to run the engine. (a repinning of factory harness might be required)
thats as much as I know right now.

I'd absolutely love to figure out what he did.

Stevefire - No, no problems with spun bearings ironically. I've got 158,000 miles on my engine, stock bottom end. I replaced the cyl head at 110k, and with all i have replaced, with the combination of me beating the @!#$ out of it at the races every weekend, I'm surprised it hasn't let loose. With the exception of the pisspoor fuel system design, this motor seems to be fairly durable. It takes a beating, while not necessarily continuing to perform 100% the whole time, but it doesn't break down. I've never broken down strangely.
If the fuel problem could be solved, and tuning were simpler, I'd love to see someone build a 2.2 for over 500 horsepower. The block is strong. But the crank will need work, if the stock crank can even be say micropolished and balanced to take that abuse, of course pistons and rods, every surface decked, drivetrain built to take it, etc etc. It can be done, hell I'll do it. I just need money.

Nope, PJ is 3rd
E) 2.2L OHV N/A
1. smcavalier, 15.698 @ 91.07
2. Bballjamal (Cav-AtL), 15.710 @ 89.64
3. TheFlyingSquirrel(PJ), 15.769 @ 85.59mph
4. blackcavygod, 15.879 @ 85.76
5. Anthony (Ant) Garcia, 15.978 @ 84.57
Although, to be perfectly honest, and not get anyone's panties in a bunch, but the top two on the list need to either learn how to drive or get some better tires.... Bball should be running low 15's with traps that high, and smcavalier should be in the 14's with a 91 mph trap.... I ran a 14.6 at 91mph today, just as an example (on low boost at etown)
Every time i see one of these posts followed by the numerous "boost is the only way to make any respectable power on an OHV" comments, i really have to chuckle. If a 2.0 8V SOHC VW can be built to make 200 hp all motor and still be streetable, what makes you think that the OHV can't? Scruf's car made 177hp to the WHEELS all motor with an auto trans... Byron's full race sunfire, judging from trap/weight ratio, was making a little more than that, also on an auto, and it ran 13.90's. THe problem is that a lot of people think that throwing boost on is easier and less expensive... Even if you piece together a turbo kit yourself, chances are it'll cost in the neighborhood of $2000-$2800... put that money into a ported head, cam, balancing the rotating assembly, and 10:1 or more compression, and you have somewhere near 200hp all motor at the wheels, which is plenty enough power for most of the people on this board, and plenty of power to be fast. 1/4 mile times aren't just about power/
