Hey man welcome to the site. If you use the search function you will find that just about every question possible has been answered.

Enjoy the new car and drive safe!!

You would want to go to crateenginedepot.com. You'll find good prices on upgrade kits for the cobalt and other goodies.

Your first mod should be an Ingalls or motor/trans mounts. Why bother making more power if your car hops around like a bitch?

I would do more research so that when you mod you have a better understanding of what your getting into.
Modding can be very addictive.

I hope my cat isnt plugged at 4,000 miles . But no I dont hop at all from a roll and I still havent really lauched my car yet. My car has hopped maybe 2 times on me and once was in the rain.

1st mod, go to neweraperformanceparts.com, get a kit with 2.8" pulley, injectors, and custom tune, if i had to do it all over again, thats what i would have done. and get a k&n filter with the airbox mod, and the header/dp/catback
