This may help Phase 5 and Pro. The Pro is actually the 1400 hp monster

If you hunt around online GM performance has a thing out called the "ecotec cookbook" and it lays out in several steps or stages exactly how to build up to a well over 1000hp ecotec engine. You can also order all the parts set up in kits to do it. Now mind you the engine itself is pretty worthless because i almost giggle at the thought of what would happen to the stock tranny even with a good clutch with that kind of power, but you can do it.

GM suggests the modified 4T65-E for off-road racing applications that are pushing 600hp to 1000hp 4T65-E modified

well there we go. Hey it even includes installing a trans brake. Now that would mess with peoples heads at the red light.

theres a book you can buy that sells high performance parts just for the 2.2l ecotec motor and it tell you how to reach up to 1400 hp from the 2.2 ecotec motor.
