New opinions

Ok. Heres what I'm thinking. I should have about a grand in 2 months or so. $500 in one month. Christmas and my birthday are right next to each other. After christmas I my bday I should have 3k if I don't spend the first thousand after these next 2 months. Should I save up for a twincharged kit? I want speed and appearance can come a little later. I already have intake and and exhaust. If too much power makes me blow the clutch, I won't be spending this money on that. I'll tell my mom that it just went bad and have her get me a new one lol. Soo that is out of the question.. No intense kits.. Pleasee tell me what would be the best for me to do. Parts and a general price would be great as well. Thank you!!

screw twin charging you would be better off getting new internals and putting on more boost with a smaller pulley...

i agree. twin charging is cool technology, but the cobalt engine is large enough that it's not really needed.

I hate you... If my clutch went out my parents would let my car sit in the driveway waiting for me to get the money to replace it, or my dad would fix and then drive my car for me until I got the money to pay him back!

i think you should stick with your original plans of a gm stage 2 and a smaller pulley.... that's just my opinion tho, and that is all im doing to my car.

i would love to put on a twin charge kit just for the sake of having one..... but talk about expensive power.

So what rates as excessive power? Thats like saying one girl has small breasts and another girls breasts are excessive. Is this not just a matter of personal preference?
I for for one prefer lots of power in my car and small breasts on my woman

Why are you totally ruling out the GM stage kits or Intense kits?

Those are probably two of the most proven modifications you can do to the vehicle. Plus don't forget the whole not voiding the factory warranty thing if you go with the GM stage kit.

I guess its entirely up to you, but in my honest opinion, the car itself is a daily driver. If I want to make a fast car, or a drag car Im going to go with RWD for sure. However, thats just my opinion. Its up to you, make your own decisions.

Later,
Chris~

I didn't rule out the gm kits.. I figured if I have more money than the $700 ish that the gm kits will cost I could do something better.. I just wanna be low 13's or possiblyyy high 12's
