Hi Guys, I'm new to this site and I just bough a brand new cobalt SS but I take it auto...

I have 3000$ to drop in the car. I want to do 14.5 and -. Is it possible? and what part I have to buy? I want to keep my warranty.

tanks alot !

 

Full bolt-ons and a good tune will get you almost there and should run well less than that, and is the only way you'll keep your warranty.
Any heavy engine work or forced induction and you can kiss that bitch goodbye.
So - you are looking at an intake, header, downpipe and exhaust cat back.

Try a search to see different members equipment and the gains they are getting. Search is your friend here, because some members are some real fascists about it.

You can even find some great how-to's to help you do the work. Welcome to the site, now tell us about you and your ride.

 

I have a 2.4 5 speed with header, downpipe,injen cai, torque damper, cat-back (corsa sport) exhuast, and tune. Along with a stage two exedy clutch and I run high 14's low 15's. As for running 14.5 it might be hard to do and still keep the warranty.

 

14.5 may be tough. High 14's with a header, DP, catback, intake, and tune should be doable. Now if you have someone who knows how to port the head 14.5 will be alot easier.

 

Lightweight rims, slicks, 75 shot. voila.

$1500 tops

 

Tune including a transmission tune and get yourself a B&M Shiftplus for better shifts since you are an auto.

then all the other bolt ons... intake, exhaust, header, DP

 

Or you could do this.

 

For another 1G you can get the Hahn Turbo kit and run those numbers easily, and the kit is pretty much bolt on, but it will probably viod the waranty through the power train.

 

HAHA I think that will definatlly void it.

 

...I was being very sarcastic...

 

alright so it will be very tough to do 14.5 if I keep my warranty?

 

Yea pretty much, because anything you do it will effect your warranty, header, intake, w/e....if you want performance your gonna have to say *** the warranty. I didn't do anything to mine until after I had it for one year so I can break the engine in and make sure I had no faults, but your decision.

 

Get The GM Stages, Leave out the CPU from stg 3 and it will still be under warranty, the stg 3 works with the stg 2 tune. Then get the GM Perfomance full exhuast headers back, Then get a K&N intake (dont know if that voids your warranty).

My buddy has this setup on his 07 SS/SC, and he keeps up alot more than he used to when he was stock.

 

Read his original post, "I take it auto", he has the 2.4L ss.

 

oops my bad.

 

While the Hahn kit will void your powertrain warranty, the rest of your cars warranty will still be completely in tact. Don't fret over it. Save another grand and do the kit. You will love it. I have seen it in person and it is a thing of beauty.

 

Or you could do intake and exhaust, and then save the rest of the money. When your ready to do the hahn kit you should have more than enough saved up.

 

There is no point to doing an intake if you are going to get a turbo kit,

 

is Gm is working on a supercharged or something because I don't want to void my warranty.
With the air intake,cat back,headers from GMPP how much I'll do on the 1/4 mile?
