Personly, I would get the prothane tranny mount versus the Ingels ETD. As for the injector's no you do not need them. I have full bolt on's and my IDC's are maxed out at 80% so larger injectors are not needed.

Is it a different thing altogether? And how hard is it to install.

Yeah, they're both worth it. The ETD does allow more power the reach the ground. Its kinda like having solid motor mounts, but not as harsh or hard to install. Its also a bit cheaper, and can be taken off with ease if needed.

As for the injectors, I can't say from personal experience, but I've heard that they're worth it. You can get them for cheap too.....I got mine from Dervin3 for $50. The harness you can order from gmpartsdirect.com for $35 I believe, bringing the total to $85. They'll lower your IDC, in turn relieving stress off your motor by not having maxed out injectors. With bigger injectors, it also opens to door up to bigger mods such as a supercharger if you were to ever do such a mod in the future. Only thing is, your gonna have to re-tune to run the injectors.

there are no more power adders except for a lightened crank pulley...and if those aren't available for a 2.4 then you're all done.

anything else is going to be internal

Well I'm seriously thinking about the ITD. Sounds really cheap and worth it. How hard is that to install? Also I don't plan on going F/I EVER so injectors would or would not still be worth it. Also that tranny mount...where the hell do you put that? Is there a how-to on either of these? Sorry for all the questions, just getting excited about completing the performance mods on my car finally.

REDFOCZ: why not both? I have the Ingalls ETD and I'm still buying some Prothane tranny mount bushings next week.

SSBOOST: The Ingalls ETD takes like 15 min to install with basic hand tools. Ones of the easiest intalls you'll ever do. You mount the plate to your motor mount and engine, then mount the damper to the plate.

IonNinja: Z-spec makes a lightweight underdrive pulley for 2.2/2.4/2.0 Cobalts, but being as its an underdrive pulley, I would advice against it. Lightweight underdrive pulleys typically make your electrical system (stereo, headlights, etc) weaker, and don't really add much hp in return. Electrical system > pulley.

Haha, saweeeet!!! Sad that you give me rep for remembering what wheels you have but SSBOOST hasn't given me rep for all the help I've been giving him and questions I've been answering on the thread. (Haha j/k SSBOOST).
