I took the Caliber to the engine tuner yesterday to get the supercharger finalized.

Before adding the supercharger we had 180hp and now we are at 230hp. The car drives great!

We had to add a new map sensor and fuel injectors. Our tuner used HP Tuners.

What kind of torque are you getting out of the 2.4? My 1.8 is running 145 hp, but it feels like 5lbs of torque. I know that there is nothing you can do with a 1.8. I want to put a 2.4 in it, and I can get one from a wrecked Chrysler 200, but how would I go about the engine management computers? 5 speed, so I don't have to worry about that computer. Can I just get them from the donating car?

I'd buy a salvage Caliber with a 2.4, then you will have everything you need to do the swap.
