you did not get 20HP to the motor by just adding straight pipes to the muffler and removing the cat. And an 87 cavy is not a 7.8 second 0-60mph car. Its more like 8.5 seconds.
Dont spend any money on your 2.2L to make it faster, its so much easier to just buy a faster factory car and you will see better results. You could prolly spend 2,000 dollars on that car, and it still wouldnt be fast. Instead take that 2G and put it into a down payment on a newer car with a better engine. You will be much happier.
But if you really want to add HP to that car and dont want to buy another car, go buy yourself a wet nitrous kit. Will run you about 500 bucks, but you can easily add 35-50HP to it on stock internals.
