How long is a modified car really going to last?

im just curious, i have not had one problem with my SS/SC (KNOCKS ON WOOD LOL)

STAGE 2 with 2.6" pulley and airbox mod. i realize the only one of my mods that may sacrafice reliability is the pulley swap, but otherwise what else would sacrafice reliabilty, and what is a smaller pulley doing to hurt the car in everyones opinion, just curious??

If you keep up your car and maintain it well it should last just as long as any other Cobalt. However with mods you'll have to do more maintenance than an un-modded owner.

How's the 2.6" pulley working with the Stage 2 flash? I'd be interested to see your A/F ratios and if you have KR.

well its the ZZP Pulley so technicly its equal to the 2.7" Billetflow pulley, but the car has been riding just like it does with the 3" or 2.85". No CEL's i would like to know the A/F also......no KR by the way or i wouldnt have the 2.6 on

16lbs of boost before 2k rpms is nice. 18.5ish around redline, i have a tick over 19 on a colder night
