I need some ideas on what to do next. .. I have a stage 2 kit but would like more power and speed. ...

You've got options. Could go 60# injectors and 2.7 or 2.8 pulley with a good tune.

Could go 80# injectors, E85 fuel, and 2.7 pulley. Lots more options too, those are just some.

 

Or tvs or turbo...

 

Or trade it in on an LNF.

 

Why would he do that when he can turbo the lsj and not hit a wall because of fueling? ^

 

If he wants to stay sc I go with the tvs. If it was me I keep the car sc. Just depends on what he wants to do

 

Company is coming out with very large di injectors soon

 

Should have along time ago lol

 

a turbo lsj is far superior then a lnf and not limited a well setup tvs is a better choice also

been hearing that for years and then look at the cost

 

Fuel lobe and Opel injectors you should make all the power you need off E85 with an LNF.

OP you could always switch to E85 and get meth injection and gain some power.

 

I wish I would not have done that.
Should have turbo swapped my LSJ instead.

 

lmao

 

Im happy i did. I dont want huge power numbers anyways. Right around 400 is fine by me.

 

Filthy valves, DI limitations, BS EVAP system, False Kr issues due to DI, and it goes on.

You can turbo swap a LSJ and make more than 400whp for less than making 400whp on the LNF.

 

Very true. I still gotta get around to cleaning my valves, and you know all about that false kr lol. My lsj was in poor shape anyways so it was an easy decision for me

 

The people who say the LSJ is superior are a little biased, I think. The LNF car overall is a much better choice. And the "you can turbo your LSJ and blah blah blah".........not many people actually do that. They are few and far between, same with TVS owners. Though legitimately fast LNF cars are a dime a dozen and tend to have very few problems.

As for limitations with the DI setup, it's not as bad as some people think. You can't run 400whp on the stock LSJ fuel system either, so the LNF isn't really "handicapped" as badly as most claim.

 

Both cars have their own advantages and disadvantages, there really is no point saying which is better when really both are extremely capable vehicles for the money. Depends on what op wants to do.

I do think it's a "bit" much to trade a lsj for a lnf when you already have a lsj unless you were grabbing a sky redline or solstice gxp. You'll sell your lsj for around 4-6 k, come up with a few more grand for the lnf, then a few grand to get it to the 350-400 area.... Or 5k in the lsj and your in the same boat... Kinda balances out no?

 

the lsj being better is not biased its fact and alot more people then you think have/are turbo swapping their lsj and a legitimately fast lnf is not a dime dozen they are out there but not like you think they are and as for the limitations with fueling on the lnf its there and a hell of a lot more expensive then your letting on not to mention the the gen2 is weaker then a gen1

you can turbo swap a lsj under 2,000 and set it at 500hp on a stock block a lnf you will spend around half that and still be well behind the power curve of a turbo swapped lsj the only thing the ss/tc has over the ss/sc is the brakes

 

This.

It's really sad that we argue with each other who has the better car. They are both Cobalt SS's and they are both great cars that cater to people who like different forms of forced induction and performance. This childish my car is better because it's turbo or supercharged needs to end.
