Questions for Cobalt SS/SC ownerss

Im close to gettin my own SS/SC and I was lookin for some info on the car, hopefully you guys can chime in and help me

What is the size of the stock rims, 18x?
What is the size of the stock tires?
What is the stock 1/4m time and trap speed?
How much power will the stock block hold up to?
and what are the best mods? (pulley, injectors, tune etc...)
Also, im looking for a spoiler that I saw on a cobalt on eBay about a week ago, it was red balt and the spoiler was kind of like a small lip that came off the decklid, i wish i had the pick, but anyone have any idea what im talkin about?
what are some good sites to purchase performance appearance parts?

i dont think have anymore questions at the time...

Stock trap speed will be in the neighborhood of 98-99 mph.

You are probably refering to the RK sport spoiler by the way. ^^^Beat me to it.

RK Sport Spoiler:

GM Stage II is a good place to start (doesn't void warranty), and not all that expensive. Any of the supporting vendors sites are good places to start looking at mods.

Why is there a picture of a Celica listed as a Cobalt below that white Cobalt?? I do kinda like the spoiler on the white one though.

215/45-18

the build book says the pistons will go at 300hp, but people have passed that and been fine, but blown up well before that.. its more a matter of managing heat and a lack of knock in the tune

2.7" pulley is the smallest i feel you should go if u drive it daily (wit 60# injectors) on the m62.. with a more efficient compressor (turbo or twinscrew or procharger) i feel more power will be found much safer

supporting vendors

stock trap speed for mine with a 2.1 60ft was 97

start with the stage 2 and work your way up when you get bored with that

18x7, 215/45/18
