ok so i have been a quiet member on here for a while. i have a pretty tricke dout 2.2l cobalt, and i am parting out now... origanally it was so i could get a new gto but new problems came up and i lost some money i had saved up for the GTO so now i cant afford the loan payments and insurance on it. so i decided to just get a cobalt ss sc. i found a very nicely priced 2006 SS SC with the g85 package i think it is called.

well i was just wondering what kind of mods are good for these things i never really got to knowledgable with the SS cobalts.

i was thinking about doing s stage 2 or 3 upgrade kit from GM and then gettin an exhaust system and injen cold air intake.

what kind of power or 1/4 mile numbers will i see from that...

is there anything else i should do?

do the stage 2 and 3 kits include everything i need or do i need to get the stage one kit too?

 

every question youve asked has been answered hundreds of times.
please try using the search button before creating new threads.

there is a sticky post at the top of the very section you posted in called "GM stage kits FAQ- READ ME FIRST"

 

Stick with a Stage 2 and if you get the combo basicly it has Stage 1 and Stage 2 and get the GMPP Sport Exhaust and of course the Injen, from an average member I have seen 13.4-13.7 on street tires. All depends on the drive and conditions.

 

it all depends man, stage 2, intake, header, dp, exhaust will give you around 260 hp and you should be around a 13.6 in no way am i saying youll get that as thats just what some people get on this board....

60 lb injectors with a smaller pulley, a custom tune, cooling mods, suspension work, im sure youll get even lower than that but clutch and flywheel would have to be upgraded with some mounts and new tires also

 

average members arent doing mid 13s on s2/i/e

most are doing low 14s

 

the stage kit question i did see answered in that thread but i i have heard different thigns from different people so i just wanted a final answer

 

This is the post he was talking about.

really cuz i pulled a 14.4 in my friends 2006 cobalt ss sc stock

 

ill be honest...u prolyl wont be seeing those mid 13 numbers without radials and a smaller pulley!!!!!!!

 

thats wonderful.
you might be able to sneak into the 13s then.


but my statement still stands. MOST members with S2 are still in the 14s.

 

Well not trying to get a back and forth going but I have seen time slips with basic mods in the 13's, and dude what's up with your postal service, I have been watching the ETD for a while and still in Canada, damn I want that thing bad....needs to hurry up. lol

 

haha thats kinda depressing... having a car that runs a 14.4 then stage 2 it with intake and exhaust and still be at a 14.0.... **** i might rethink picking up that car

 

its different for all of u guys up there in the north lol...come down to south FL with humid ass conditions and we wil lsee wut u run haha

down here normal numbers is around 14 flat...but if u get a smaller pulley and tires ur looking at around mid 13s IN WINTER!!!!!!!!

 

Yea a lot of members have the stage 2 and from stock it really isn't impresive, but like Anomalous said, that's basicaly what they run but I have seen them in the high 13's with a good driver. But of course after a few extra mods along with stage 2, but for a huge imporvment get the twin screw from Auto Works.

 

haha ok i c

twin screw....?

 

please dont go twinscrew lol total waste of ur money..if anything twincharge or straight turbo

 

You think, a lot of members that have the twin screw like it, a lot of money but huge ass increase.....

And twin screw is like the eaton but eaton only has a single screw in it compared to the Sweaden blower which has two screws in it for more boost which is much more efficiant, they say like 18psi. (I could be wrong so correct me if you must, I'm not a supercharger type of guy...)

 

well ive seen twinscrew in videos and in person and im not impressed at all...yes u can boost 18 pst..but im boosting almost 17 psi with my 2.8, i really dont see the point of it because it is a pain in the ass...if u go straight turbo more torque and better top end

 

is it like a procharger

 

wut r they making on the dyno...around 280ish??? or maybe less ...but i would have to see sum dyno sheets, because my friends twincharges is making 315 on the dyno, and my othe buddy is making 320 ish wit hhsi straight turbo and they both have RL's

im not really that sure on the specs on it or wut it does...but i jsut know about the results lol

 

Damn huge ass increase, I'm goin Hahn for the 2.4L around tax time and WHP is like 230-240 so a pretty decent increase for me, but not like the 2.0L and how much boost they can support.

 

what about alcohol injection on the sc?

 

I don't know to much about that kit, my friend has a Dramax with water/meth injection and he says it basicaly keeps the engine cooler when he's at higher RPM.

 

i also thought about a nitrous kit, i can get one cheap... maybe do a 75 shot wet kit

 

how cheap can u get one for? lol..im looking for one for the RL..and meth is very good for a s/c car because it keeps the air cool
