i ve raced a 2.2l cav it ran 17.2 with an intake and it was manual o ya it was a 2 door also i don't think any 2.2l can beat a 3.8L unless it has like 200,000 miles on it and flat tires. 2.2L are slow. i have the 2.4L 5 speed (aem intake, flow master 60)and i ran 16.6 at best i had alot of gas so i could maybe get down to a 16.4 i don;t see my car getting any lower. but there is no way a 2.2L can even beat or keep up with any 3.4 or 3.8 unless the person is half retared thats driving it. so lads not to get your hopes up but your 4 bangers are slow and will always be slow. thier fun to drive to i will admit that expesialy the 5 speed its got some go

You do know that we all have 2.2L ecotec engines and that 2.2L Cavy you raced is a completely different motor right?
2.2L ecotec = DOHC, 16-Valve 140HP (underratted) 150lb-ft Aluminum block
2.2L in that cavy = OHV 8-valve 115HP 120lb-ft. Iron block
So yeah, the ecotec is way faster and will/does smoke your 2.4L (did it many many times). The OHV 2.2L was a POS, slow slow engine.
A 2.2L ecotec can keep up with and beat 3.4L/3.8L in the right heavy car.
A friend of mine had a rented 2003 Cavalier 4 door with the 4-speed automatic and the 2.2L ecotec (switched over to the ecotec in 2002 from the 2.2L you raced)
He did a 15.77 in that car, and that is a bone stock car abused by renters. So that car would of embarresed your car. Check the numbers of some of the ecotec 2.2L guys on this site, we have some fast times.
I know I did a 15.21 in cold weather and could run 15.4's and 15.5's all day long in the heat. I had a CAI, Catback exhaust.
