Car and Driver and Road and Track have run 14.7 with the Ion Redline. Sport Compact Car ran a 15.3, but obviously they suck. I think a guy on another forum was running around 14.7 as well.

small gain in hp looks like atleast 4hp throughout the whole power band and peak at almost 7hp, the car is still building power past the rev limiter cant wait to see the gm stage 1 upgrade w/ increase rev limiter. nice. tq is also verry nice gain looks like about 5tq gain throughout the power band w/ peak of 8.4 2500 rpm. nice. cant wait to see an exhaust or header for it. and ecu tuning.

its a shortram not a cold air, which i find no significant difference between the two cuz when your driving the air in the engine compartment is moving so the cool air is coming in so i find no difference between the two. unless your dynoing.

on the sema 270 a majority of it was ecu tuning rev limter increased to 7grand or more thats where the lsj makes alot more power. 16 psi and ecu tuning is mostly what it consists of. and knowing gm how they underated the rL and cobalt it mostlikely will be 270 whp. if i get a cobalt ss s/c and they get carb approval and it fits i will so get one, depends on if borla makes one. i love borla i hope they do.
I own a SRT4. The majority of both SRT4s and WRXs (fellow F.I. 4bangers) get any kind of intakes do not like the results. This is for both Short ram and for Cold air. The problem is, the cars PCM/ECU is tuned for the stock air box and may have trouble adjusting to an aftermarket intake. I understand that you car is SC unlike ours, but I think you may experience the same problem. Also, there are members who have had a positive experience with the intake.
My advice is, buy one from a place you can return it.

CAI's show more of a gain than short ram's and then the V2's show even more gain, only a couple more horses though. But if your worried about the water coming up your intake with a CAI then don't drive through lakes, lol because thats the only possibility your car would get f'ed up is because you submerged it.

ive aways used short ram and made custom tubing makeing to ram air going right to the filter and painting the tube black sp you cant see it. lol i did it to my malibu using stock intake with a 3 inch tube going into the front bumper grill and my car picked up 3 mph in 1/4 and almost 2 tenths and ive dont it to a few other cars and they all picked up from it

cobalt SS = 2806lb
CobaltSS is 124lb lighter... in drag racing world they say every 100lb = 0.1 off your 1/4 time

That is the weight claimed by SCC and MotorTrend in their recent reviews of the car, as well as the weight listed on GMCanada.com. However, chevrolet.com still has the weight listed as 2991... which has been there a while.
I guess we still don't really know lol.
