cobalt in the 12.9's so cheap to do is it true?!!
 

ok been going through a bunch of posts and doing tons of research on the cobalt lately because i plan on trading in my pursuit (2.2l) and getting an 07 cobalt ss/sc. im not very car literate in the sense of knowing even close to as much as most guys in this forum but im really trying to learn as much as possible in the next month so i can know lots for my new 07 ss/sc. anyways is it true that wih...

stage 3 kit 2.6 pully (525.00)
corsa kat back (730)
cat delete (50.00) (does this mean to remove the cat completely?)
wheels (150.00 im guessing drag radials?)
qtp's (320.00 dont know what that is)
jbs bushings (99.00)
spec stage 2+clutch (560.00)
fidenza flywheel (320.00)

you can run 12.9's?? i mean assuming your a good driver and stuff, but is that literally all i need or is there alot of things missing? cause for a total of 2854.00usd thats not too bad at all. please dont flame me for lack of knowledge im just kinda new to the cobalt scene right now, but does anyone know if it can actually be done with this set up? if not please give details if you can. thanks

youl probly need an extra heat exchange thingy. im not to up on it eiather but that seems to be the way for cooling.

wow the stupid "look what i got off ebay" post got more replys and its so gay lol!!

im probally around 13.3's....give or take. 12.9's is easily attainable.

2.6" pulley - $100
HP Tuners - $125
Spark Plugs - $40
60lb Injectors -$230
Stage 2 belt - $32
Adj. Tensioner - $100
Downpipe - $150
Header - $225
Intake - $50
Heat Exchanger - $300
Meth. Injection - $300
Poly engine mount - $150
Poly front and rear transmission mounts - $80
Traction Bars - $150

total give or take... $2,032.00

yeah you will deff have a 12 sec car, I would add heat exchanger and water meth inj and youll have 12 sec for sho car. lol

how much did that run you if you dont mind me asking

stage 4 kit 2.6 pully
Cobra Heat Exchanger
Cat Back
Stage 3 clutch
Drag radials
Eng and Trans mount
And most of all a good driver!

used nitrous kit from ebay will get you into the 12`s for around 300 bucks.....wont say much about reliability however

you would be better off getting the stage 5 with ported blower, i would recomend all the different ploy mounts for tranny and engine. Get a g85 package one.

Wheels and tires will be more than that, i would guess at least 350 for two wheels and two Dr's or slicks in 17" or possible 16" if you want to file down you front calipers. you will want to get slicks to achieve this time

Plus:
The upgraded heat exchanger
The HP tuner setup
A header
CAI

also with the mods i listed does that make for a reliable car or will it be in the shop every week, i mean generally speaking, like would it be a good daily driver at that point too?

how much would something like what you listed cost me? like i said im not too car literate so try to speak in basic terms for me to understand, lol and as i type i now realise that i just made myself sound retarded.:lol:

I put a list of Options together and i plan on buying these in order, but i am wandering first if anyone has any clue or a educated guess on what you get a cobalt ss/sc to run with these mods and if you could give me better prices for certain items thanks i didn't put nitrious in there but seperatly could you give me an aprroximation of what this runs w/o spray and with spray? thanks

I understand its hard to know, but with proper dyno adjustment and tuning what seems possible?

edited my original post with cost. and yes, you will have a reliable car

You just listed pretty much everything I have except the HE and traction mods!

awsome replys guys so many ways to do this now im just confused, which way is the best way to go?? in terms of staying reliable daily driving at the same time.

2.5" pulley :guns:

No, 2.6!!! It doesn't spin the hell out of the blower, and yeild pretty much identical HP results with a little less low end torque

In any combo in a SS that is capable of running 12's I would set aside $800 for HD axles . At that power level is a matter of when , not it , u break an axle .

:lol:
what about clutch and stuff like that and computer flash/tuning? any of those little things need to be done :lol: :lol:

my mods-

GMPP stage 2
Flowmaster muffler in stock piping
Ingalls Torque Dampner

best 1000 foot is 11.37 @ 93.65

appr. a 13.4-13.5 quarter
dr's and full exhaust should yeild 12's, go ahead call bs

HPtuners is our gateway to tuning. I have my stock clutch still and have a 2.8 inch pulley, header, downpipe, exhaust. It ain't slipping......yet :(

seems the clutch seems to be really riding on the so called "driver mod";)

i have 2.6 pulley, hp tuners, intake, downpipe, engine mount and still riding on stock clutch with 0 slip. it all depends on how u beat on the car

The only time I power shift is when I'm at the track.

since its an 07 you might not have all the mods out for it yet.... you might want to think about that

i have heard the 07's are set up a little differently than the 05's-06's so if you are going to get a 07 dont get too excited about getting all the mods too soon
