more power from m62 ecotec
Saturday, January 10, 2009 10:53 PM
I have a m62 supercharger kit on my 05 cavalier...I am looking for more performance. What should I do for more performance now that I have the charger. And I don't want to put a h/e and/or a smaller pulley yet and I dont want to port the blower either. How bout a bigger throttle body? the car has 44k miles as well if that helps. I also have a modified K&N Intake and a Vibrant Cat-back.

Best next mod?

-Header/downpipe
-Throttle body

Suggestions?

-Vibrant CatBack

You already have an intake but If it's not intercooled that should be your next mod. I'd definitely do that before an exhaust.

List might not be what you want to hear but...

Get the intercooler setup,
smaller pulley
exhaust
then go with your tb and other items. Currently I'm still on the stock for the times in my sig but now I'm upgrading that over the off season.

What airtonics said is the best way to go. I just did a pulley and H/E. Completely different car now. Did you get the broken intake manifold on your setup fixed? If not your more than likely losing some power there to

i would definatly run an HE setup for sure, if i where you i would do the HE and do a bigger exhaust doing these 2 will lower your KR and allow you to run a smaller pully without harming your motor

doing both of those will eliminate so much heat out of the motor

Yes I did get the intake manifold broken bolt out and put a new one in!
