I have a 2007 and have 1000$ to spare on some cobalt goodies...any suggetions...would be greatly appreciated!!

cams, full exuast etc.


My current not so much mods are in my sig

what should be next??

i do not want to sc my car considering its to much **** to deal with...i was thinking about some spray but id rather have real power before i shoot it...i was thinking cams. then a full exaust (header, dp, etc.) and then spray


any suggestions plz fill in, i dont care if there negative or positive. i dont want to hear..."just go get an ss" lol my car is paid off, and all i pay is inshurance...i wanna run this thing til the wheels fal off then get something ridiculous...like a cobra or subie...lol

let me know fellas

thankx!

bump

 

ss front bumper no lip, CF hood/trunk

EDIT: i didnt read all the post, CAI, 2.4 mani...

 

intake,full exaust, rims, 2.4 intake manifold, short throw,subwoffer, tint, i dont know there a few

 

supercharger.

 

keep it a sleeper. get header and downpipe with stock cat-back and 75 shot. people will be like, wait was that a ****** 2.2???? lol

 

well this all depends because if you ever one day have thoughts of turboing your car, then a header is a waste for right now. yes you could go and spray but you run the risk of damaging your engine if its not done properly. as for cams since yours is an 07, like mine, we have that dumb cam postion sensor and would require you to get a shop to take it off your car and onto the new cams.(that i know of that has only been done once thus far).
getting lighter is always a way of being faster. you are not going to see a change a horsepower on a dyno,but only in acceleration because of the lightness of the carbon fiber.
so i would say go with the 2.4manifold and that throttle body and get ls2 edit and tune it up. other than that save it and go turbo

 

I think it can be a lot of fun to go NA, it takes more planning and thought. Not that throwing a turbo is an easy weekend job (it can be)

some of you guys replied with things he already has in his sig, he has a CAI and lowering springs.

I would go with 2.4 intake manifold, cams (if it's possible for you), header/full exhaust AND a TUNE

but you can do some weight reduction, it is fun, especially free stuff, like crap out of the trunk, matt and carpeting and spare, there's gotta be over 50 lbs of stuff back there, do you need the back seat?? not only can you do this and reduce weight, but I like the extra room, it's like an HHR now but not as ugly on the outside

good luck with whatever you do........I do hear though that the 2.4 IM is very worth it

EDIT: after re-reading your sig, I don't figure you're going to want to be ripping **** out of your car with all that stereo system equipment, subs and what not. get rid of those ASAP

J/K, but it doesn't look like you're not going to be too worried about weight, just make some MO POWER

 

turbo build!

 

cams and a tune will net you more than any bolt on you can get for the same price

cams+atleast 10whp cost ~500
exhaust 2-3whp ~400-600
intake ~1-3whp ~200-300
downpipe ~2-3whp ~200

cams are better for the price

 

It isnt as bad as you think, we turbo'd a n/A DSM in less than 7 hours and tuned it in less than 2.
Spray
$750 direct port, ~75-100 hp.

 

but spray is not fun for daily driving because its not always there. I think this guy probably wants more power......ALL the time

and yea he can go turbo, but will need more then $1000

 

spray is not considered a bolt on :p but is true, more hp/$

 

i would invest the $$$ in something. with as low as the stock market is you could make a killing when/if the economy comes back.

 

cams...

 

I feel you guys and was exatcly hat I want is more power. Lol I just dnt know if turbois really all that. I wanna ride with mkulrey and see how his whip pulls. Hahn is prety nice and f I reeeeeaaaaalllyyy wanted I could buy he Hahn 2.2 kit but for the money I figured somehong else...lol and I jet down graded to a rockfrd power 12 as opposed to tv two David beckems lol (the tens)

But ima go with the manifold 4 now...what's next?

sorry for the shitty messed up typeing LOL
I'm on my iPhone

 

try to squeeze a full exhaust out of it. headers back. get the gmpp sport or magnaflow. whatever's left (if anything) use on gas.

 

Save another $500 and supercharge your car. Check out the How-To's and figure out all the parts you need. You can find all the stuff on here for a decent price that could add up to roughly $1500.

 

8 ball and a hooker.

 

lol but na for real...im thinkingheader ad downpipe

sizeing??

 

sell it

 

get urself a pacesetter header, exhaust depot dp, and a exhaust, that should be around the 1k range if you flex ur $ right

 

if your looking to stay N/A we just released an aluminum intake manifold for your car... get that an use the LS1 throttle body...

 

my side skirts...my mesh grill... my ssc springs... list goes on!

 

You're going to need a lot more than $1K to go FI.

OP you should go with a full exhaust, intake, and 2.4 mani for start. You could sub out one of the other things for some springs if you don't like the stock ride height.

 

you can buy me my paint job


this is true.
i've done it, and i spent about.....1000 in parts.
250 for tune, and about another 500 in cooling mods/other things that do go directly with it
