power gains for a 95 2.2 sonoma

85spraybomb · 11-03-2009, 05:48 PM

ok guys,im new to the forum,not to cars,ive been an inspection mechanic and an ASE tech for 2 years now,and i just picked this up on a trade.
its a stock 95 Sonoma with the 2.2, with probably about 150k on it(odometer is exempt),only things ive done are replace the heater hose pipe with a cheap barb fitting and some heater hose,and it has one of those ChromeIntakes from ebay.

id like to make this truck a bit more peppy,and better on gas.
the first things i thought of were getting a good header,and a nice catback exhaust with a flowmaster 40 series.

pullies i feel should help as well,so that is a possibility.
e-fan is also another great idea.
i may eliminate the a/c in this truck as well,because in northeastern pa,i dont need it at all.
ive read the 2.2 forums for awhile,but i dont get to check on here that much,so if you guys can give me some ideas,id love to hear them.
Thanks guys
-Kenny

ASP Pullies from www.aspracing.com

Efan mod are awesome idea and a popular trend to do so for better gas mileage and bring back loss/robbed power of clutch fan, check the sticky for further efan threads.

A/C removal doesn't give you any gain, because when turned off, it free spin and doesn't rob anything other than just length of a belt. If you still want less stuff or clear up engine bay, be sure to sell it to someone and wait until they be able buy it in person so a/c system won't be containmented much.

As for header, you can OBX from eBay, Pacesetter isn't really that good and more of hassle.
