so im finally getting stage two installed tomorrow I finally broke and couldn't take holding out modding my cobalt... it's been "nah i don't need it I dont race....I should save up for college...paramedic academy comin up...."

haha f that I bought the kit thursday, and I just got an Aem to replace my Injen I used to have... I figure I need to live a little to stay sane...dont we all?

anyway what mod should I do next? I've been thinking exhaust and headers.. keep in mind i'd like to keep my warranty..

 

GM Performance Exhaust

 

yeah i've been leaning towards it, do you have it and how do you like it?

 

I dont have it as of yet but its definitly in my plans. I have heard it in person and I fell in love with it. I have not heard anything bad about it. And paired with Stage 2 it will be very helpful.

 

Waste. Custom catback, 3" downpipe and header

 

well i got the car back and all i can say is damn... huge difference in power i must say and with the aem it just screams....took some friends out and i had to kick em out of my car after a while..

i need to save up some more money but will go with exhaust/headers.. most likely gm..

thanks for the input guys.

 

2.9inch pully and custome tune

 

A 3" is pointless with nothing more than stage 2.

 

2.85 custom tune

and if ur feeling frisky 100 shot... jk

 

I'll tell you friday. I will be installing stage 2 with stg3 pulley (2.99") GMPP cat-back exhaust (Touring) , GMPP honed exhaust manifold, dual-pass endplate with option B.

x2. or you could do suspension.

thats definitly gonna feel like a different car.. you doin all that at the same time and whatnot.
enjoy

 

cooling mods. COOLING MODS! COOLING MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can gaurantee that I'll put down more power and higher trap speeds on stock motor with tuning and cooling mods than any stage 2 car. unless it has cooling mods and tuning also.

 

well, what are your #s and trap speeds?

 

Yes, I will be installing all of it friday (free day for me, every week). I kind of regret it because I have spend more than $1,500 in parts (shipping to PR is high). After my warranty is gone (only 2 more years), I'll be definitely swaping for a turbo. A good friend of mine has a Scion tc with a custom turbo kit. Dyno results: 300 WHP @ 16 psi with 290 torque. He's pushing it but thats a fast car. Of course, has return-fuel system and other goodies as such.

Hey chevysalesman, how much WHP should I get with this mods. I estimate 250 WHP.

Congrats on the stage 2 purchase! I have the GMPP sport exhaust and I love it! And I highly recomend it to anyone who is not going for big ammounts of power!

Theres only so many cooling mods you can do, and judging by your 14.4 @ 101, it's not doing you a whole lot of good.

 

Cooling mods are overrated. Fall is coming. Just wait till spring to do them.

 

Full exhaust
2.5 inch custom exhaust
header
3inch downpipe
Dualpass endplate to help with cooling (although not for the weak hearted to instlal themselves)
Some type of intake on the car, and youll be set....until themod bugs bites you again....

 

wow, You must be crazy. I have went from trapping 94.5mph bone stock to 101mph in the 1/4 and from 72.5mph in the 1/8th to 80mph. You have to be crazy to tell me that my cooling mods didn't go any good.

statements like this is why I'm doing what I'm doing. fastest stock motor cobalt is what I'm aiming to be.

 

wait...if you have cooling mods, then would that not make you a modded cobalt?

 

yes, but notice I say stock motor! i.e. no intake, not even a filter, no pulley, no porting, no header or aftermarket downpipe, still on the stock cat. STOCK MOTOR. just the supporting mods that people think is only for upgraded engines. I'm living proof that just cooling mods alone will let you gain more than a pulley upgrade, or even gm stage 2.

 

I think your head is too high for what you run.

You trap a little higher then the stock cars on here. Higher trap speeds usually means you want a higher e/t. But, congratulations, I guess. Also seems like you're the only one here bragging about your "cooling mods."
