loose the zzp and go with a custom tubes setup or vibrant, i dont like all the issues with the flex pipe braking and everything i have heard.

 

i wants moar!!!!!!! i have all that and its still slow.

 

go to the fs thread for the 06 cobalt for 8k its awesome

 

i really doubt you can net that much from just a ported head, valvetrain and cams

 

if you had to you could always overnight parts from Japan...

 

Its all in your tune Alt... I told you that! But if you don't want to listen fine!

 

Just throwing this out there.... But what about another cooling mod. I've been looking intp a cryo2 kit. What do you think?

 

i think the cryo2 kit would work great just fill the bottle with naaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwsssssss lol

 

umm new power mod is v8 lmfao
buy my practically new 2.7! thats an extra lb of boost and it looks pretty

 

Port your Head...


...and when did you get unbanned? Haha.

 

anyone else have a dyno with a ported head? I saw rebels, but it looked like they were reading off of a lean spike.

 

supercharger+cold=power

don't go above 2.5 " needs restriction
I have seen cobalt with 3" that lost power because of the vaccum created
by too much of a free flow exhaust sytem

weight reduction ?? how else can you explain a civic below 14 at the drag strip
I am going to a 2.6 pulley this spring ---- torque torque and more torque

 

this thread has way to much garbage in it and its annoying.

If you don't get the LS1 mod then go with nitrous. It's pretty fun and is quite addicting. Spraying a 25-50shot every now and then when your bored is quite fun.

As far as all of the none sense in this thread you know not to listen to most of it but in case you forgot I will reiterate it.

Stay at a 2.8 inch pulley, don't drop below a 2.7inch.

If you plan on making decent power, which you already are STAY with a 3inch exhaust. You will not lose power with a 3inch exhaust, you will lose boost.

Boost does not equal power.

Weight reduction is nice, but not needed in a cobalt. We can run in the 12s without needing to take apart our dash and our back seats, we are not a civic!

Also as someone else already said a lot of it is in the tune! If you need help with that part you know I am more than happy to drive out there and put a tune on her so just let me know.

But overall I think we are both at the point where we look at each other and we say what now? If we don't go with stuff like cams, head work, springs, valves, retainers etc then we are basically left with 2 options. 1. nitrous, 2. figuring out a way to keep these cars cool lol.

Hope to hear from you soon chris, take care.

I'm still wondering what benefits something like cryo2 is going to provide.

 

raw did it with just a ported head... no cams or valvetrain

anyways why not do a custom intake manifold, good gains cooler temps and its right in your price rainge

 

danger to manifold

passenger floorboard failure imminent

 

I thought that was read off of a spike?

 

so take away 10hp for a spike it still made 40more whp

then add cams and bigger valves and rev it to 8200 and see what that nets you
