Bolted 2.2s

08Sedan · Nov 25, 2011

I have an 08 ls sedan, automatic. With intake, shorty headers, catless dp, cat back exaust, and a tune what sort of power would I make at the wheels? Also what are some realistic 0-60 and 1/4mile times?

170ish

Then why do people say it's a waste of money? If the car handles well, and doesn't weigh a ton, 170hp can be a blast.

you didnt indicate what type/brand of each mod you had, but I would be hard pressed to believe youd see more than 145 at the wheels. 170whp on an auto car would mean youd be around 200 crank hp which is just not happening with stock intake manifold and shorty header.

The reason I'm hesitant to upgrade to a long tube header, intake manifold, and throttle body is I don't want all my power to be up high in the rpm band.

well your not doing it to be racing are you. id just go ahead and do it

Not at all - 'tis my DD. Which is why I want usable power...especially being auto.

suspension work? FE5 struts and shocks

fully bolted and tuned i was quicker than stock, but still not fast enough for me. now im supercharged and incredibly happy

but bolted and tuned is a good place to start, it made a good difference (im auto as well)
