Ok, so everyone tell me if it sounds like i'm gettin all the right ****.. I know its kinda an odd order to buy everything.. but I can't do anything til I have it all anyway, so i'm just ordering what I can each week. I just ordered these things from Cobalt-Addiction: 3 gauge pod fact. matched, NGK 1-step colder plugs, Injector Harness, and Stg 2 Belt. Next week I will order the AEM Wideband and Aeroforce Interceptor from them. The following week is the 42# injectors and Nates Machined 2.9'' pulley system. The only question I have really is, do I need an adjustable tensioner to run the 2.9'' pulley?? Everyone let me know how that looks. Oh, after I get it all on i'm hauling it to Knoxville on my buddy's rollback to get a custom tune. Just thought i'd throw that in so everyone didnt think I was gonna slap all that on and hit the streets.

 

You should be good with that. You'll probably want some traction mods though.

 

yeah the next plans were Ingalls TQ dampner and some mounts along w/ a new header/downpipe combo, then some axles just to play it safe. I dont wanna break anything

 

save your money go CA stage 6 lol jk

 

wow i'm glad you were kidding. I know i'm just gettin into this stuff but damn... I've read enough to know that's not a good route lol. How do you like your Borla catback? that's what i'm running

 

**** traction mods there a waist of money just learn to drive your dam car.

 

You don't need a tensioner to run a 2.9. The stage 2 belt will be fine. With a tune you should put down some nice numbers. Dont get an Ingall's its just a band-aid for your traction issues. If you find your having trouble with traction get some poly mounts and be done with it.

I have a pretty close mod list to what you will be getting, with just a little more. I trap around 107; havent dynoed the car yet.

 

awesome, I was hoping I wouldnt need a tensioner, that just means I can put money toward my tune a little sooner and get this thing on the road!

 

yeah **** the ingalls, i went with a TTR motor mount and CA trans mounts and have no wheel hop what soever

 

I would go with bigger injectors.

 

But you have vibes all the way up your ******* now

 

i have the ingalls, i like it. vibes aren't too bad, seems to help with traction and shifts. if i get sick of the vibes i can simply take it off with 2 bolts.

 

next on the list: cooling mods...a simple dual pass would do

 

I love my Solid mounts, makes my ***** vibrate at 5 grand. :-)

 

so go w/ flowmatched 60's and a 2.9? if I went w/ 60's could I go ahead and step down to like a 2.8 and be safe? It's cold as hell here right now so I think i'll be fine w/out cooling mods til march or so, that's when I plan on doin dual pass w/ cobra HE and stuff anyway What do u think?

 

There are no more vibs with the TTR Mount compared to the stock setting on the Ingalls.

 

id say you might as well step up to the 60s and 2.8, i mean they are pretty much the same price and youl be getting more performace out of it.

 

you should be fine without cooling mods as long as you are not taking it to the track or beating the hell out of it non stop.

 

Please get cooling mods as well. you wouldn't believe the gains until you did them and found out for yourself. Cooling mods are more than just keeping the motor cool. The blower does nothing but force extremely hot air into the motor. Cooling mods makes that air extremely cool thus making more power. Isn't that the whole point of modding? Force Cooler Air into the motor, add some fuel to compensate for extra air, WALA! More power.

 

oh yeah, i'm definately doing cooling mods. It wont be taken to the track until they are done. I just feel like it going to be down to no higher than 50 degrees here every day within a week or two that the cooling mods can wait until march or so when I can better afford them. But yeah, definately cooling mods will be done. So looks like i'm steppin up to 60's and a 2.8 then

 

oh dont get me wrong, i didnt mean that they wont help. i am just saying that as long as he doesnt beat the **** out of his car he doesnt HAVE to have cooling mods with the set up he is talking about, he wont blow the motor or anything.

 

yeah, I dont really ever drive my car hard to begin with. Dont get me wrong, I do sometimes, as does everyone else w/ a fast car. But it's not very often as there's a lot of traffic usually where i'm from so if I do drive it hard it's late at night and this time of year its bout 30(+or-) a few degrees...
