Powell's CABs arent going to make the drive worse, they'll help with wheel hop and torque steer (doesn't get rid of all of it just most). They affect the comfort of the driving less than the trans mounts.

They're not going to cause excess vibration or make the ride worse.

i didnt notice any difference in in vibrations with these. they tightened up the front of the car and the steering feels a bit more responsive. i recommend either powell or ottp if your gonna go through the trouble of doing it.

installed the short throw shifter and base bushings today. shifts pretty good and feels better then the stock one did. gonna get the cable clamps for it and get it fine tuned the wy it was by a buddy of mine who is really good with them.

installed the high rise wing today. got it from a member in maryland. used 3m double sided tape and have not noticed any vibration up too 85 mph so far. i like the high rise. i feel like its one of the things that makes an ss what it is.

got my aeroforces. the kit i bought from zzp was missing one cable so i hooked up the one i had for now and aeroforce is sending the 2nd cable. pretty nice being able to moniter so much with these gauges.

I think it is the ortiz gauge pod. Bought it off a local friend of mine who sold his cobalt and got a Chevy ss.

Be careful with the tires, if they start to break free it can turn into wheel hop quickly. Car looks nice.

06cobaltss/ss

im hoping the mounts and control arms help prevent the hopping. id like alittle spin off the line to prevent dead hooking or bogging it. its gonna take some time to figure out the sweet spot for sure. i want that 12 second quarter mile. once i do that then im gonna upgrade to the 7163.

You should still spins little coming off the line, just don't end up with a 2.2 60ft or it will kill your et.

06cobaltss/ss

yea it will take some practice for sure. alot has changed since i been too the track last. getting below a 2.0 60ft is a goal of mine. with that im sure i would achieve my 12 sec 1/4

wrapped the upper charge pipe today with boost monkeys heat reflective tape. gonna try it out and see if it helps with the heat soaking issues i have been having. debating on wrapping the intake tube but unsure if it would be worth doing.

What kind of temps are you seeing?

06cobaltss/ss

after sitting at traffic lights for a bit and going my iat2 would be up around 120-130 degrees depending on how hot it is outside. highest i saw was 132 degrees. its pretty chilly in pa today so im not gonna notice much of a difference until next week when its in the 80s again.

I run a cai and typically I see about 8-10 hotter at a stoplight with temps in the 80's. But that's a different setup than you.

06cobaltss/ss

i been considering getting the zzp cai. i dont daily drive this so rain is no issue.
