this is the cavalier guy who has been discussing some weird ass engine
swaps which people have absolute objection to so I figured WTF I have
heard of them GM boys bringing some big ponies out of this thing so
why don't I give it a shot. The 2.2L ecotec that is. So here I am with
a 2.2L ecotec that I just had it dyno-tested in his shop. If you guys
want to know how I did it I will tell you but I really wanted to know
if someone could suggest where I might be able to find some kind of
manual transmition for it. I have found some automatics but I didn't
really want that. I really want a clutch less manual transmission,
automated manual transmission, e-gear, or paddle shift gearbox type
transmition for accurate times at the strip. Any suggestions?

If you got nearly five horsepower-per-cubic-inch (2.2 liters equals
approximately 130 cubic inches)....as you claim.....the NASCAR Nextel Cup
engine shops would be knocking your door down......and you could write your
own ticket!!!

They're on the edge with a little over two-horses-per-cube........

I see there is no clue shop in your town, and you are STILL clueless.

NASCAR is one thing...drag racing is another. It is possible to get
enormous
horsepower out of engines that are not destined to be run in that mode for
hours.

Some of the cars that run on PINKS are apparently capable of 5 HP per cube.
Briefly.

That is just less than 2 HP per cube. So what is your point?
