So based on that the most HP the Cobalt SS or the engine itself will be able to take will be 283 HP? Thats to the wheels right? That kinda stinks cuase if IM 230 now (at the wheels) thats like 250 at the crank so getting stage 2 would put you on that line of like 270 wheels and 300 crank. add an intake and exaust and its like 270-280 wheels 320 crank...

Use the latest ECOTEC build book as your guide to the capabilities of the LSJ (and the ECOTEC in general)

yeah that has nothing to do with the ss/sc engines, it says "Laboratory analysis subsequently revealed a mid-beam compression fracture on all four stock powder-metal rods." and our rods are forged, so no worries
