What gear feels the most different? How does the whine sound? Is it harder to not boost under normal driving conditions? Does max speed in each gear change much?

2nd gear pulls hardest, and also where you notice the most difference.
normal driving is a little trickier to stay below boost. The car is a lot more responsive now too, S/C is a lot louder, and i dont even have a CAI. think that might have to be next. Raised the rev limit to 7000 i believe and it pulls hard right to the end of that. didnt pay attention to how much faster that works out to. I'll watch next time i go out

Congrats, get the cai, sounds great.
I think I would look for 3" exhaust though, 2.5" is not big enough for that much power.
Plus, the stock gm exhaust is so weird, different sizes etc.

I did the math on one of those gears plus rpm plus wheel size calculators, and 3rd pulls to 113 mph.
which is plenty for the 1/4mile

It's good enough to not have to shift 4th, big advantage when talking e.t.

My car needs more miles. Engine hasn't loosened up yet at 1650kms! Another few thousand and it will be faster!
Although stage II is tempting!

GM has this info. They say a stage II car has over 0.7 seconds improvement in the qaurter-mile and a 0.5 sec. improvement in its 0-60MPH time.
I am not sure what GM considers a stock Cobalt SS/SC's 0-60 MPH and quarter mile times to be, but I would imagine 0-60MPH in about 6 seconds, and probably a 14.6 quarter at 98 MPH. That said, I have seen a Cobalt SS/SC tested at 5.9 sec. 0-60 and a 14.4 @ 100 MPH.
