What Are Some Mods That I Can Do?

Greetings!

Just picked up a 98 LS Cavalier... and I'm wondering what kind of mods can I do to the engine?

I know about CAI, plugs, plug wires, turbo, etc... wondering more along the lines of intake or
throttle body swaps, or ???

It's a 2.2L with the 4 speed OD tranny.

Thanks!
Scott

Well you could start out with a CAI like you mentioned, and you could swap out your stock TB for a larger one. Or if you want to do some changes to the guts of the motor you could put in some cams.

As far as the TB goes, is it better to get one from a performance company (if so,
who makes a good one?), or is there one from another car that's a good fit?

I'm not ready to tear into the engine just yet... this is my work/second car, so
I'm not going to go all out for performance.

But, I can't just leave it stock now can I?

Also, who makes the best strut tower brace?

I like Vibrant performance strut bars, they have a package deal with front and rear at www.turbotechracing.com

You can do anything imaginable to the car...

a cheap and effective mod is the Poly upper and lower engine mount replacements, poly Control arm bushings, exhaust, all depends on how much you are willing to spend and far you wana go.

Most Cavalier parts will also work for your Sunfire.
