lol been awhile since I posted here. I decided to keep the cobalt for awhile. Landed a new job 5mins away from home so I'll be saving some cash from gas and wear and tear. Going to be doing some slight things over winter that needs to be done:
Coil-over kit(not sure on brand yet)
Wheels
HID kit needs to be installed
as for motor this year...not supercharging it at all but still have some other options.
Jerren let me know when you want your car buffed. I can do it but prob not until closer to spring.
Mike(murrant) send me a email and I'll get back to you on owe.

Well jerren, i think it was you that said it and you were right. Those E3 plugs are garbage. Had my first issue with the truck. Few weeks ago when i installed my wideband the CEL came on due to the wideband 02 bung being open until i drove from the shop to home. Today driving around my CEL came on, figured it was cuz of the 02 sensor. Decided to get it checked out to make sure. 4 codes came up.
-#4 misfire
-#9 misfire
-multiple misfires
-#9misfire
So to all that is reading this. Do not buy E3 plugs, they have been in my truck for 6 months (only driven 3 months which is about 5000km)

Thats what im thinking. I just pulled the number 4 out and checked all my wires... everything looks good. Yesterday i went WOT for the first time since Aug 28th. And since then i just installed a wideband. So when i went WOT it from 14.7 to 13.5, hesitated there for a second then went 12.5. The guys are saying 12.5 is normal for the mods i have and the cold temps. But we are thinking either the plug misfiring caused it to be lean (13.5) and caused the CEL or somehow the stock tune is to lean and caused a misfire. Not sure but im going out now to buy NGK 1 step colder plugs. $150 for 10 plugs...lol.

Well, my son asked for this one...it will take a while to do, but I found a smashed G6 GT Coupe...so the heart is going to be installed in the 'Balt!! Should be fun and agonizing all at the same time! So, over the winter, I will be planning on the removal of the donor engine and drivetrain, electronics and etc... Will keep everyone posted on the event. Good luck to everyone on their mods this winter.

Why wouldn't you want it.
Add a new exhaust, intake alone would add a lot of power. The g6 gt came restricted as hell. and overhauling it would be awesome fun and powerful.
