either way i would like to get internals out of the way before starting put stuff in, thing is im having problems trying to find forged pistons and idk what else i would have to swap out.plus i dont know if the 05-06 aftermarket parts are compatible with the 07's
smp was selling his old non intercooled setup for a good price a while ago if you wanna send him a message he can probably work with you to get the things you need to run it on your car the problem is the procharger head unit itself runs about 2300 bux of not more

So is the K&N filter really the good filter for the LS? or is there one better?

When i had my lt i had a K&N sri (well, they call it a cai bc the heat shield but cmon..) anyways i loved it, it is deff one of the loudest intakes for the 2.2's, gives you a little more gas millage to unless you got a heavy foot, then it realy dosnt matter. i would deff choose k&n over aem,injen,fujita ect.. have fun!

I test drove an LS before I baught my SS and it didn't seem to like accelerating above 40 mph. It took it a WHILE to get from 40 - 55.

I however think they are wrong and can make my cobalt a monster. So far all i got is red racing strips ( woooohoo ) that my grandfather got for me as a gift for my car. ( cheap bastard wouldnt get me my air intake ) So as of now. The only thing i can think of is getting my air intake ( and i'm thinking K&N ) and getting my exhaust done. From there i'm at a lost as of where to go. I in the long run want to put a turbo in..maybe even twin if it can handle it. My question is..is it really worth the trouble trying to upgrade my lovely Cobalt??

Ive seen a couple people doing Turbo swaps from the new lnf. And you can get a lot of stock parts off here from other member that would be a cheap route if you can find some used parts
