i think i have made the choice that i wanna supercharge the LS. what do you guys think? i have been doing research. If anyone wants to help me out let me know. lol

 

Hold on to your money until next winter. The TC's will be down in price. I'm sure driving an 07 LS for another 9 months won't be horrid (I drive one too, and am also planning on going SS) lol

Plus you'll have an easier time with people saying "Cobalt Super Sport? More like Slowbalt Super Slow! HAR HAR HAR" and then you smoke them with your 260HP Stock boosted rape machine. Then get a GMS1 and rape even more.

 

but i just got my ls and have little under 4k left to pay on it

 

I dont know man. For me it would be a little pointless to SC my LS. Even though I did make a thread on what could be done to it to improve performance , I still think just getting the whole SS package is a better deal. Unless you turn your car into an awesome sleeper car, then i think thats bad ass

 

sleeper. exactly thats how mine kinda is now. im running steelies and have an ss exhaust setup so it looks like a granny ls but with the loud straight through muffler and short ram intake. now with a sc under the hood and the ls badges still on it. would be SICK

 

IMO to make a 2.2 a sleeper it would take more power than the stock internals can handle. A lot of other car guys that look at a Cobalt doesn't know the diff between trims. I met a 2.2 Cavalier a long time ago (turbo, stand alone, etc) that stayed dead even with my full bolt-on, geared New Edge GT, though really in the scheme the GT was still slow. I guess it did surprise me a little being stock to the wheels but not a OMG look at that.

 

i just wanna make what i got cooler, faster, and more fun with reasonable prices

 

It will probably cost you between 2000-3000 USD performance wise for a supercharged setup said and done. Then you've got some $$ you can put into suspension upgrades that you can do. You will most likely not want stock 15/16wheels with 195/60/15 or what ever the 16s come with (I know I dont for when im supercharged), thats going to set ya back a bit. You can easliy spend a few thousand on it or you can get an SS/SC or TC and go from there. I'm not saying don't do it, but its going to take some money and time

I agree with Perfect.disguise, if you're not going to end up going beyond what the stock internals support its probably not going to be a 'wow, what a sleeper' kind of car. It will however be fun to drive haha.

 

2.2 cavalier is vague, there wwere 2 trims of 2.2 sold in a Cavalier until 03. The L61 DOHC, and the LN2 SOHV. The LN2 doesn't flow well even under small boost. But then again L61s aren't cream of the crop. I will say this I put the hurting on New edge GTs quite often and I'm N/A. Full bolt on and tuned ones are a little different.

 

Do it

 

It was an Eco..that's why I was relating it to this thread..

 

 

I say go for it im an LS but dont look stock im loud, and real easy to spot in a crowd, i wish i woulda gone with the sleeper look, are u auto, or standard, if ur an auto and get a tune, you will fly through the gears like nothing else, but it all really comes down to your opinion, bc half of us will say yes, and the other half would say no, Goodluck

 

5 speed. thanks i have just been weighing my options and whatnot

 

I say do it i would but someone is buying my car so im gettin another balt lol, any pics of you car now?

 

i dont have any at the moment. its so crappy outside and when i was nicer out late last year i hadnt done much to it.
