I have $2000 and i am looking to do some performance upgrades. i was hoping i could get some suggestions on what to do. I drive a 2007 cobalt ss/sc as of now it is stock. I was debating between getting stage 2, intake and exhaust. Or a TVS but i am unsure what is need to install a TVS and if $2000 is enough

 

forgive me for not knowing but what car do you drive?

 

Sorry I have edited the first post, i drive a stock 07 ss/sc

 

tvs is 1800 new and u need cooling mods,tune,exhaust,injectors,intake,etc alot to get it to rock....

 

buy the tvs. but you don't want to install it just yet. if you have more money coming in save the money and buy and intake and injectors and downpipe

 

intake, full exhaust, and good tires (plus wheels if youre looking for appearance)

 

I agree.. the TVS is definitely worth it.. its a blast.. get the TVS..keep savin up for an intake, 60# siemens injectors, and a full exhaust if u can..then rock that TVS id say for a full TVS setup to run safely..ur lookin at roughly 3 to 3500 bux... including the 1850 dollars for the TVS..might wanna throw a heat exchanger on that list too..for some cooling

 

2k isnt alot but intake, downpipe, tune, and set your self up with tranny and engin mounts so your good to go in the future and hopefully on the stock axles and if u got a littel extra get some guadges or someting cool like that

 

TVS and then save for 60#/hr injectors cause they are required to run the TVS. After that go with intake/dpipe

 

So I'm looking at about $3500+ for the TVS install? What WHP will i be looking at by going that route compared to Stage 2, exhaust, and intake?

 

TVS I hear depends on the tune but you can def expect around 300, 300+ if a good tuner I would think. GM stage 2 and other stuff would be around 240 ish.

 

with just the tvs, intake, injectors, and downpipe. i don't think you'll see 300. but atleast you'll be up and running. meanwhile you'll be saving money for methanol, h/e, header, and catback. then get a retune.
