Hey I'm looking into buying a used cobalt ss/sc soon. anyone have any pointers to look for? also the reason i posted this here is because I'm currently looking at one with some mods and i wanna see what you guys have to think about whats done and what kinda power it will make-->"2005 Chevy Cobalt SS. Under 85k miles. 5spd, supercharged. 18lb pulley, front mount, 60lb injectors, intense pcm, intake, exhaust, lowered, new radio."...any help would be appreciated

 

The pulley is not an "18 lb pulley".. It is a pulley that makes 18lbs though.. it is probably a 2.8" pulley..

 

have a compression test done before buying.

Maybe hook a dashHawk or something to it and see if it has misfires or the fuel trims are off.

 

check to see if the intercooler pump works.

 

If you're getting it from a private seller ask them their forum name so you can look up their past posts about the car, that is if they're on any of the forums

 

^^YEA WHAT THEY SAID. IF YOU KNOW A TUNER, HAVE HIM COMEOUT WITH HIS LAPTOP TO CHECK IT OUT, test drive it good and hard to see how it runs. good luck
