Looking to find out how much power the stock lower end could handle power wise. I plan on going bigger turbo, thinking about the ZZP LNF upgrade kit. Any suggestions?

Bigger turbo, Cobalt ss, LNF, upgrade, power, motor, stock

 

Don't know the exact amount but it can handle that upgrade.

 

Bottom end can handle a ton just as long as it's tuned right.

 

This. I've heard of some failures but they all seemed tune related.

 

And don't forget about the trans

 

I thought that was a given by now

 

Op has 1 post

 

Guess he should have done a little research then.

 

500whp easily

 

Trans will need 4.45 final drive gear though, stock tranny is weak point for big turbo power

 

I say 250 maybe 260whp TOPS!

 

Ah damn, better sell my car

 

Without an early-'09 porous block.

 

Ya exactly. I remember that crap. I think I was the first one who had it. After 2000 Kms lol

 

I remember. That's why I was picking on you.
