valve springs are available. and valves and cams you can have custom made. Some people have already done it. pistons are also available. So you sir need to look around. We are happy with what we have but atleast we know what is out there

yea some of u are happy for wat they have out now...but theres other people who want more than wat ur happy with but im looking more in to the motor valves,valve springs cams,pulleys throttle body,direct port injectors, intake manifolds,bro i just keep going on and on.... want my motor built not put some bolt ons and down the road i have 2 buy a new motor because i should of done it the first time even though the cobalt motor is compatible to 1,500hp.. but i want every thing done the right way.. but watever just having a conversation about it and people taking it 2 the heart....when im stating we need more venders is because when can make are motors in our car much popular 2 compete with the stis and srt-4s and evos and any other cars out there on the market
Our weak point is the trans, and we will be working on a solution to that after we build this motor. So, my recommendation is do more research. Thanks k bye.

Yeah, I mean, I would tell anyone that knew what they wanted, but he's just spouting. He doesn't need any ammunition to hurt himself with. But, the build we are gonna do is gonna be nasty. Thats all I can say at the moment. It would be capable to 750 whp, I would bet. If we get the fueling we need, but the owner only wants 500whp. So, thats what he'll get, and it will do it nice and reliably.
fueling is not hard to get. Just tap in new injectors in the intake mani. and run a piggy back fuel system. have it set to where the second injectors kick in at wot and your done, then we have to worry about the trottle body closing but thats beside the point.

Yeah, I am praying that by the time we get the build done ZZP has released their fuel mod, or HPT has cracked a couple more tables.

The shop is Performance Autowerks in Plainfield. Not too far from Joliet. I would say I could come cruise with you sometime if you had the balt up here, but I just ripped the front bumper off today to start working on the intercooler and pipes, so she'll be sitting for a while.

Lol, alright come spring time we can meet up! This summer I am going to try to organize some customer cruises up around the shop, where we can meet up, maybe have a cookout and then cruise a bit. Maybe do some dyno runs, etc... just have a play day or whatever.
I actually just heard that hptuners unlocked the fuel tables. This was just through the grapevine, but most likely they were thinking of trifecta. I am sure it would of been all over if it was true.
