Ive daily driven my camaro with a 3600 stall in it. And while it was perfectly fine it was a bit much. In that car id think 3000 would be good. But in the cobalts definitely another 300-400 over stock.

I dont know what the stocker is but what I remember from gm tc's is gm seemed to like the 1800-2200 range. Unsure on the cobalt though but on my 2.4 I know id like another 300-400 over stock. Especially with that 3rd gear which the car feels like its falling on its face!
