whats up. i just recently purchased my 2006 Cobalt SS- black w/ recaro seats, lsd.... i was just wanting to know what upgrades are available at the moment. pulley upgrade, intakes, etc. if you guys have any suggestions leave a website i can go to so i can order. thanks.

 

Hey Fill, welcome to the boards. As far as upgrades they are few and far between so far. But word has it Chevy will be revealing Stage 1 & 2 upgrades for the Cobalt SS.
-K&N and other intake companies are working on air intake kits.
-Magna flow has a catback in the works.
-TOG will be releasing headers shortly.
-Check the sticky above for a 3" catback exhaust.
-You can get pullies from south florida pulleys.
-PSI-FI is making a kit featuring a: pulley, ecu piggy bag, and eh something else I believe.

By the end of the year there will be plenty of choices. I am going to have patience and get one of the chevy upgrades once they come out. Thats probably the best bet for $ per hp invested.

 

probably not, but i bet they would let you keep your warranty with the staged upgrades though.

 

Yeah, i'm waiting for the GM upgrades myself too (my father opted for the extended warranty ). Stage 1 is supposed to consist of 230 hp right? What does Stage 2 consist of and how much do you think it will cost us? After that, I'm thinking about getting the TOG headers, an intake, and exhaust, then I shall be done, until I get used to the power that is and want more.

 

From info on this board, Stage 2 will be around 280hp and will involve replacing the clutch. So I'd be shocked if stage 2 was under $2k.

 

Damn replacing the clutch too? Well 280 hp is a lot. A clutch alone is around 500. AHHH I have to start saving and stop spending my money on stupid stuff. 280 sounds very appealing, let me tell you.

 

i dont think that the stage 2 would contain a diff clutch. we allredy have a racing clutch on the SS/SC

 

I hope the stage 1 is under a grand!

 

should only be a couple hundred bucks

 

what is the website/contact info on this PSI-FI that you speak of. i would like to get more information. thanks

 

Unfortunately our clutch is by no means a "racing" clutch, way too soft for that and too many people have had problems already, myself included, I read somewhere the clutch is rated at 250hp, but I think it is closer to 225.

I fyou compare the clutch in the SS to the sach's unit in the SRT that is a good clutch, many have been fine up to 300hp and mine is holding for now behind 360whp, I really dont wver thing the SS clutch would even come near to that...


and PSI-FI:

Nothing there yet they are working on it, email them

 

Whats wrong with a performance clutch I am definitly getting the stage 2 as soon and it comes out, starting to save for it now. I wanna be 300 hp+ by next summer.

 

never said anything was wrong with one, I said that the stock one was not a racing clutch

 

Anyone know where we could find statistics on the clutch's HP rating...just curious if the one in the SS/SC is the same as the one in the non-SS in case I decide to start boosting HP...I'd hate to drop in a S/C or turbo in my LS and blow my clutch out the bottom of my car.
