true I guess, I just would expect more from that much head work as the head is where you are going to make the most power out of your car. 1500+ bucks for 20-25whp is soooooooooo no worth it.

IMO, the flow data will tell the story. Less error and bullshit to look though.
keep in mind that the upgraded cylinder head will allow more power with higher boost levels, cams, etc. its one of the major restrictions when it comes to flow in our engines

I still don't understand why people don't just slap on a 50-75 shot and be happy. How often do you really need full-on 12 second potential while driving to work? I think my plan is to just throw a small shot on it, play it safe, but still be able to pull out 110+mph traps with the 50 shot.

I've had nitrous on almost every car I've ever built, and never have I ever blown anything up on it. I don't understand how people blow stuff up on nitrous, unless they are really dumb. On my mustang I had it setup on a ZEX kit with a window switch, a fuel pressure safety switch, an MSD 3 step timing retard box to pull 4 degrees when it hit, and I probably made over 100 nitrous passes on the stock block, nothing ever came close to blowing.
Just saying.........so many cobalt people complain that they want more power but don't want to spend any money..........so then go buy a nitrous kit!
not to mention these cars use such a small shot....40-60hp, that the damn bottle would last forever compared to the 100-150 shot I ran on my mustang.
