If he kept it stock it would have been 200 hp, in a car with 400 lbs extra weight. But your saturn is fairly impressive. In my books any car with less than 15 lbs/hp is worth of some respect. 10lbs/hp is impressive. 7.5 or better is excellent. Less than 6 becomes OMFG!

Could easily get 350+ out of it with a turbo, bigger injectors, and a tune. i would def need a new clutch though, exhaust too. thats also pushing the limits of the rods/pistons, but it has been done reliably. it is possible to keep the SC on there without much trouble, that way the low end is taken care of and you could put a bigger turbo on there for the high end. im at 17.5 psi as it is, 2.8" SC pulley.

Only mods are the pulley, tune, bigger injectors, and a CAI.

I drive a saturn, but I never plan on buying one. Generally speaking, they fail the cute test

So, wait....if my car is this fast on rice.....how much faster would it be on gasoline?


Wow.

Thanks but no thanks, I'll just stick with rice....have you SEEN gasoline prices lately?

Exactly.

What if the next alternative fuel is rice? The Camaro could be a rice burner!

Well, that makes plenty of sense.

Who wouldn't want a supra with a pushrod engine that requires fully forged internals to accomplish what a stock Supra block can.

Maybe when you buy your 09 Camaro, you can remove the LSX and replace it with something weaker too!
Cavalier I4 maybe?
