What do i need to get more power out of my cobalt ss. Someone please! I need guidance.

srt-killer

Is it the supercharged ss or just the ss?

Just the SS I would assume since he's in the 2.4 forums.

basic bolt ons...

- Injen cold air intake
- cat-back exhaust (i prefer magnaflow)
- Header (no decent ones out yet...)
- ECM tune (Westers or Vector)

Cobalt_Supercharged

Unfortunatly not yet. I think HPTuners is working on it though.

balts2thewall

I was always told the Cold Air would be the way to go for starters

corsa cat back exhaust--- injen short ram intake---- vector ecu-----light weight rims----eibach sportline springs---the car will be very quick with all of this, remember engine parts arnt the only thing that makes the car faster you gotta remeber suspension

Cillkupid

engine parts are the only thing that makes it GO faster. All the suspension is gonna do is make it safer and easier to handle the power you're putting to the road. But definately don't forget suspension although you shouldn't have too many problems out of the gate with that since you do have the SS/SC with the sport suspension. I would look at GM or Intense Stage Kits if I were you.

Another often overlooked thing to make your car quicker is weight reduction.
Removing the rear seat, rear seat belts, un-needed bolts and brackets, spare tire, jack, etc. can easily trim 4-5% weight - and it's free.

F=MA tells us that a 5% weight reduction = 5% better acceleration. Reducing unsprung weight (wheels, tires and lighter brake disks and calipers) will give you a much greater bang per lb than sprung weight. Also when considering performance mods such as intake, header and exhaust, consider the weight they save as well as the hp they add.
Next, consider weight that's high on the vehicle, such as a cf hood and trunk. Reducing weight here will reduce body roll, thus improving handling.
If you are hard core, replacing glass with lexan not only saves weight, but will lower your center of gravity too. I don't have a sunroof because of the extra weight it adds at the highest point of the car. Want to remove even more weight, look at the sound deadening tar under the carpets (the carpets themselves?), radio and speakers, air conditioning components, passenger seat, inner door beams, bumpers, air bags... the list is almost endless.
It just depends on how much you want to sacrifice for speed.

ha, ^^ i had started a weight reduction thread a while back ... where where U then man? lol

Tho's are some Hardcore I deas, but good ones none the less.

Corsa Castback (Sport)
Injen cold air intake
Intense stg 5

that should take care of U for a while

Here's what it looks like when you remove the rear seat and dress off the rear deck.



Plus you save even more weight not having to carry passengers in the rear.

"Sorry folks, but it's a 2 seater only!" Now if I could figure out how to keep the wifey from riding along...That would save lots of weight!

a smaller pulley would probably be your biggest and easiest way to gain more hp....just depends on what size you want to run and how much money you want to spend on supporting mods the smaller the pulley you go
