I'm New, need good idea for horse Options

[bburden86]

I have a 91 laser 2.0 non turbo. all thats done is header, down pipe, and i got a intake tube from a friend but stock filter. its rebuilt and has about 55,ooo on the motor now. i was wondering if anyone had some ideas for good power. plus one of my valves are ticking and i think my syncroes are out. i can't shift into second and its hard into third sometimes. i live in mackinaw, i read somewhere that you guys go to cordova a lot, and a lot of members are located in illinoise.

I knew those replies were coming... In all honesty though you can probably make 5 and 10 hp gains with bolt-ons but to get the real power you want a turbo. I think that you will find that most of the active posters on this board are power hungry and will have the same view. If you have that friend with a Cavalier that you are just dying to beat, and will be forever satisfied, then you are a special case.

You have the same block as the turbo models but your internals, in most cases, won't stand up very long to a turbo or nitrous. If you are one of those people that love their car because of some sentimental attachment then you could rebuild (again) with new rods and pistons and slap a turbo on. That or you could even swap in a turbo shortblock. Is it worth it? Only if you really love the car.

And who the hell would live in Mackinaw!... oh yeah... I do

Since as taxi mentioned, DSMs are not known for their reliability, you will likely see me getting around town in a blue and silver S10 Xtreme or green Saturn Vue. Are you the guy with the 'Drive it like you stole it" windshield banner?
