This was discussed before... I think the conclusion was reached that unless you're building a race only car there aren't that many benefits. The Cobalt already has an electric fan and electric power steering... so there isn't much to run an underdrive pulley on. A/C dosen't draw any power when you aren't using it... you could maybe swap out the alternator pulley but then you're cutting short the steering and fan as well.

To top that off I haven't seen anyone offering pullies for the 2.4 yet.

Just my .02

I don't think the grounding kits are worth the $200 that they're selling for.

Try intake/header/exhaust that'll net you a pretty decent gain.... then save for FI setup or NOS.

i think it may net a few horses but more importantly it will give us a better electrical system, i mean its annoying to have the windows go up so slow and while they are going up to have the dask lights dim down, they shouldnt do that
