OK people I need your help... first of all theys start with what I have.

Installed
I have ZZP header and downpipe combo 1 3/4 inch into a 3 in exhaust
2.5 none mandral bent catback with a 1500 series magnaflow exhaust
Not a cold air but i think its equivalent to a cold air intake was a weird rounting system with a fliter and a removed fog light so we will call it a cold air intake with K&N filter
BWoddy solid mounts
Exedy Stage 3 racing clutch

owned
ZZP 2.6 inch pully
Short belt

the question
I was thinking about running 60 lb injectors the 2.6 pully and a tune..... fairly good set up i would think. im told i would need to run meth injection with that set up. I was also looking at maybe a 50 shot of Nos. I mainly run at the 1/8th mile track but still want a daily driver
on stock engine no internals for now

I dont know if you can run meth and Nos can you?

any sugjections and help would be appriciated and new ideas if there are any......

 

with that pulley your going to need more than just meth .. you need some other kind of cooling mod like a corba h/e or equilvilent to that or a dual pass endplate.. i dont think i would run both n20 and meth. me personally i would run the meth kit its safe and almost yeids just as good of gains o and did i mention it... its safe... when adding boost like your going too.. you should invest in some kind of wideband also.. a very good investment

 

^ I'm I reading the downpipe size correctly? 1 3/4 goes into 3" exhaust. I sure hope the downpipe is more like 2 1/2. There would be your first change to make. As far as a cold air intake, my injen takes the filter right to the foglight. It would help slightly to remove the light becuase when its on it creates heat right where the filter takes in air.

As for a 2.6 pulley, I think anyone who runs a 2.6 pulley is nuts because the supercharger was never meant to spin that fast. I think 60 lbs injectors and a 2.75 or 2.8 is as small as you should go. Throw some water meth injection and it will handle that well. The cobalt is not a 1/8th mile race car. You should be running it in the 1/4th. If you want a 1/8th mile race car get ride of the cobalt and get something with AWD or RWD. FWD has the slowest 1/8th times out of the 3. Get your some some stage II drive shop axles and slicks.

Cooling mods FTW. Your going to need dual pass kit with option B. Also add Royal Purple Ice or Water Wetter into the coolant system. You also need a bigger H/E. After all is installed get it dyno tuned. As for N02, I don't think you should run it without forged motor. You also need a wideband.

 

haha im with yall wide band was next on the list period my tuner wont even tune without a wideband. also the foglight is already removed. these are the headers im running.

as for the NO2 it was just a thought. axels were also on the list i was just trying to get an idea for power. i had a cobra heat exchanger found and bought for 95 shipped and the guy selling backed out and gave me my money back so that sucked


I dont have a 1/4 mile track around here all we have is an 1/8 so its all i got althought it is kinda pointless to put more power in a fwd that cant get traction anyway. However from a rolling start the cobalt is ok lol

yall think a 2.6 is to small for a stock engine im guessing??? I asked zzp if i could exchange it for a 2.8 or 2.9 but they were being dicks and wouldnt its not even scratched and says zzperformance on the side so i know damn well it was theres

 

i believe he is talking about the header piping being 1 3/4" going into a collector that bolts to the 3" exhaust.

 

yeah he worded it better than i did... i suck at english
