There's an entire section on this in the NA TUNING subforum of this website. The 2.2 has been around for over 30 years at this point and the reason why you aren't seeing any information about modifying it is because you really can't make any decent power gains on a budget without turbocharging it. There's a reason why people swap their cars. It'll cost you less money to swap in a 2.5l engine than to modify your engine to make 165hp.
