07 Cobalt SS/SC mod ideas?

I have an 07 Cobalt SS/SC and so far up to date I have GM Stage 2 w/ a 2.9" Pulley, Injen CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, TTR Race Transmission Mounts, Ingalls ETD, SSC lowering springs, Gen 1 Halo Projectors, 15% Tint, and Completely De badged except for the SS Supercharged emblems on the doors. I'm planning on getting the TWM Short Throw Shifter and a ZZP S3 H/E and possibly 60's, 2.8" pulley, and a tune. As far as appearance goes I'll probably go ahead and get some Carbon Fiber to outfit my Interior Dash Trim and Door Bezels. Nothing to drastic. I never take my car to the track so insane power is not what I'm aiming at, just trying to get some reliable pull for my daily driving. Oh by the way my SS is Black with Red and Black Interior. Any ideas from any of you on my future plans? Let me kno what you guys think? Thanks

Yea, I'm thinking about getting some new tires when spring/summer time is near but definitely important to have a good set.

Front mounted intercooler sounds good, i was thinking about possibly getting a water/meth setup too but im undecided as of current. I heard that TVS S/C is pretty kick ass though, haven't yet got the chance to actually sit in a car that has it though. Would be pretty interesting to feel the difference in pull.

Correction "Front mount Heat Exchanger" .... The intercooler/aftercooler is in the intake manifold on the SS/SC

your plan for 2.8, 60's and a Heat exchanger + tune will make it pull pretty well.

Thanks, thats what i was thinking. Not to extreme but would give a decent power boost. How do you like your setup?

yeah sorry about that i understand. I have been switching around talking about my T/C ed Lancer and my S/C ed cobalt. Thanks for the back up.

The TVS rips up the road. The pulley that comes with it I am pushing 325hp with the balance shaft delete and forged pistons...

the eagle GTs are great tires i have Yokohama's on my Cobalt and the Eagle GTs on my Lancer...

Well i have to say.... the TVS sounds like something I would definitely go for later on. i think the more i read about it the more tempting it becomes lol

I have heard good things about the eagle GT's tho, read some good reviews on it. Still cant decide which set of tires i want to go with tho, right now i got the Cooper Zeon A/S and ive been happy with those but i recently got a hole in one of them and had to get it repaired, plus the life is fading slowly i have about 5/32 left on them so its possible ill be picking up a new set around the end of March/ beginning of April just so i have a clean set come spring/summer time...

I think with a direct injected water meth system like mine he would be fine with stock internals since the rods and crank are forged. I have 3 friends who are running the TVS with those stock internals...

I've heard of some people running stock internals with the TVS with zero problems but i do wonder how reliable they would be after some time.

Cefaln452 what mild set up did you have that destroyed your ****? just curious

That honestly would be nice as hell but I could only imagine how much time and money it would be to put some work in like that! I dont think theres a lot of ss/sc's running around Twin Charged but it would be pretty sexy

I just searched for the SMG remote mount turbo and I came across that thread and man that looks sick. I saw you said that you took a ride with Fred in it; must've been nice as hell
