not unless you put it all into power mods like stage 5, nitrous, etc. at which point you are going to have some serious performance issues, such as wheel hop, possibly clutch and driveshaft/transaxle/whatever-they-are-called-today shears.

Stage 2 and a 75 shot of nitrous was 368 HP on the Stage 2+ time attack cobalt.

ReMz

very true... but that car was not built for $4000

Vette Jr.

Idk how much the hahn Dual charge is gonna be, but it wont be cheap, and a 3in exhaust is pretty important for a 400+ hp TC/SC car.... as for the axle yeah your gonna get rid of it no matter what cause it'll either break or you'll be smart and get a better one right off the bat

zinner

No kidding, but you can have a 368 HP engine with nitrous and GM stage 2 which is easily obtained with 2000 bux.

Just get a v8

glockglade

Is that on a stock engine> If so i know my next mod after headers.

Sounds like it would be a huge hassle to trade in a new car just to get a V8 powered car, and then your paying more in the long run for the insurance. If he was going to trade in and get a different car it would make more sense to get something like my old car, the GTP, you can hit 12s very easily for little money and insurance would be less.

CbYellowSS

actually he could probably trade in his cobalt and get a eagle talon tsi for 5 grand and put 15 into it and make it own...

you can also save some money for repairs and mess with it with a tractor turbo lol

there is someone in my city with a talon thats running 40 lbs of boost

darrend3

HAHAHAHAHA yeah ok a gtp into the 12's EASY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOUR NOT GETTING INTO THE 12's IN A GTP UNLESS YOU HAVE A M112 , BETTER HEADS , CAM AND VALVE SPRINGS OR AN INTERCOOLER YOU NEED THAT I USED TO OWN A GTP AND DROPPED 4,000$ INTO THE ENGINE AND WASNT EVEN BREAKING 13.5 YOUR NUTS HEADERS FOR A GTP WITH INSTALL KIT, CAT AND LABOR IS OVER 1,000$ EASY AND THATS DEPENDING ON WHAT HEADERS YOU GET I THINK YOUR CRAZY PLUS A GTP IS AUTOMATIC JUST WAIT TILL YOUR PUSHING 340 HP AND YOUR TRANNY GOES AFTER A YEAR AND ITS 3500 TO REPLACE INCLUDING CORE CHARGES BEEN THERE DONE THAT WILL NEVER GO BACK **** GTP'S STRAIGHT UP

Shortbus

You would have a setup very similair to mine with 4k.

Someone posted earlier that you'll prolly end up spending most of your money on mods that support the ones your getting. For instance, I orded a ZZP pulley, 100 bucks no big deal. However, with a smaller your making more boost so you need plugs, 5 bucks for the autolite ones, then since you have smaller pulley your belt is too loose, so you need something to take up the slack, ZZP adjustable tensioner and stage 2 belt $140! So a $100 ended up costing me $245!!! I HATE SUPPORTING MODS!!! But after the pulley, the air will be too hot, so I need to upgrade the IC another $300 in the hole, but wait with more power the clutch won't handle it BAM new clutch $1000, oh now the tire won't handle it, $500 for DRs, oops to much power for the axels, $600 new axels! IT NEVER ENDS!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!11111!!oneon e!one!!!111

*panting* Sorry, I just lost it for a second...

PAY OFF CAR

Unless already paid off.

If so...

ROTH IRA. $4000 today will grow to just under $59000 in a decent index fund IRA from Vanguard or Fidelity over 30 years...without adding another cent.
If you put in $4000 every year, you'll end up with over $600000 over 30 years....

darrend3

HAHAHAHA THATS WHY IM DRIVING A COBALT MY FRIEND HAHA ALL THE SUPPORTING MODS FOR A GTP GETTING INTO THE 12's IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GO WITH A 4 BANGER SO EVERYTHING WAS HALF THE PRICE I KNOW A GUY WHO HAS PUT OVER 8,000 IN HIS GTP AND HES PULLING A 12.86

SSinPhilly

i hate these threads.........i got 4 grand to spend.....i got 10 grand.... we have a great tool that im going to interduce to you.......but you must not tell no1.....its the answer to all you mod needs...its called the search button. You want the best/ most popular exhaust type in exhaust. pulley ect.

Blown 4-banger

Wow, 8k is a **** load of money for only running 12.86! GTPs DO suck!

ATXSLOWBALT06

Yeah tell me about it there great if you have money because the aftermarket for them is out of this world but if your trying to get the best bang for your buck screw gtp's : headers , install kit , cat , and labor for a gtp is easily 1000 dollars and thats if you get the cheapest headers and a good deal on labor

Blown 4-banger

Yeah, with a 4 banger you only need 1 of everything except cams! 1 header, 1 head.
