You picked the least horsepower 2.2. Your best bet would be to find a 94 or 95 2.2 and swap everything over. Change fuel pump, and fuel lines. The 90 has tbi and the 94 has mpi so its alot better. Your 90 has 95hp and the 94-95 have 120 hp. Also you can look at some of bobs builds and use the 98+ 2200 pistons in the 94 block for a nice compression bump. What do they check in your tech area after a race?

shift up a gear or get a bigger tire.


i would do the 98 style psitons to raise the compression and get a mild cam to raise the rpm band a little...

search the forums and look at my posts on engine builds and such... i dont wanna retype it all here...

if you keep that tbi there is a little cover on the back of the throttle body pull that cover off and put a washer or 2 behind the spring... it will give the engine more fuel
