Hi nonricer,

Thank you for your enquiry:

"Hello again guys, I am wondering how much power would be made with the following combination of parts."

In regards to your question, for clarity, I’ve modified the list that you initially provided as some items were not compatible or were general service items. Please refer to the revised list as shown in the list below.

“A2A intercooler kit
Stage 2 Comp cams
cold air intake
powerbond 5% overdrive race performance balancer.
crow cams hydraulic roller lifters
crow cams 130lb valve springs
bored out 69mm throttle body
rollmaster double row timing chain
19psi pulley
manley performance valve spring retainers
comp valve locks
premium Viton valve stem seals
82 degree thermostat
CNC ported heads
CNC ported inlet manifold
CNC ported supercharger
light weight rotor pack
Custom tune”

Conservatively speaking, you would be looking at gains of over 250rwkw with these upgrades running on 98 octane fuel. Running E85, and you would be nudging closer to the 300wrkw mark. To give you an idea as to some of these upgrades on a non cammed (purely bolt on) engine , please check out the link below.

Unless you were planning on upgrading your supercharger then we would not recommend going a stroker setup.

“arp main studs
4.2 stage 3 stroker kit”

“And which exhaust system would go with this setup,
De fillipo dual 3 inch system which includes headers with 1 7/8" primaries, dual 3" exhaust system with high flow cats, or
De fillipo dual 2.5 inch system with 1 3/4" headers and dual 2.5" exhaust system with high flow cats.”

We would recommend 1 ¾” Pacemaker headers and dual a 2.5” exhaust system with high flow cats

“Thankyou, and sorry for the long post.”
No problem.

“Also is there anything else available to make more power, yet still keep it a daily driver.”
Given the listed engine upgrades, we would recommend supercharger inlet porting (including elbow or upgrading elbow) and a LS throttle body.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask

Kindest Regards,
Steve

So upgraded supercharger means no stroker kit?

No, what he means is they don't recommend doing the stroker kit on a stock size blower, the M90 as it's only really just big enough to supply air for a 3.8 liter motor.

Is there kits to adapt an M112 and M122 to these things? You could pick up the M122 cheap from GT500 Mustangs ex USA.

I have seen it done but unfortunately can't remember who it was.

When's mace going to do Turbo parts for the Ecotec? Those old superchargers are too pricey for their efficiency.

Hi Draimond,

Apologies for the delay, after conducting a thorough review of our inventory and consulting with our team, I regret to inform you that we do not have any plan for selling the turbo parts. Unfortunately, we are unable to fulfill your request for this specific part at this time.

Kind Regards,
Michael
