SR2.2 for non turbo The kits are much much cheaper than the turbo kits. They are light pistons and crank and rods. Revs to 10 grand and can make up to 250hp ---

Adam[/quote] Coil on plug ignition??? Most people get rid of that due to the fact the coil packs get heat soaked and crap out and are not stong enough. If you want to upgrade you get LS1 Coils…Which have spark plug wires. ---

i think you’d be better off looking on the SE-R forums about the SQR23DE setup. it takes an NA QR and uses SR crank and custom pistons and rods. the result is something phenomenal. the guy who engineered it is looking for 250-270whp NA! the turbo version already made 393 HP. before you go off and think that’s FWD, there are RWD QR’s in trucks, and there’s probably a bellhousing adaptor that’ll work with the KA transmission. vid of the SQR23DET [http://videos.streetfire.net/player.aspx?fileid=329439E6-582E-40D3-BD49-83ED37758193](http://videos.streetfire.net/player.aspx?fileid=329439E6-582E-40D3-BD49-83ED37758193) ---

> [@beatshack](#): > > hmm ok, so are you really concerned if its technically “N/A” (regarding the nitrous) or do you just want a faster car without going turbo? Sorry but I am never ever going to use nitrous. ---
