I was hoping to find one of these but I can't find one anywhere. Usually on car forums for specific cars, they'll have a performance thread stickied up top with recommended first modifications.

SO I guess I'll ask the question....

What are some of the first few things I should look into doing to my car?

 

you are not the first to ask the question... intake exhaust..

 

Black First Generation Projector housings from modernperformance.com

 

first two, debadge=Free and 10 mins, aibox mod = >$50 and >45 mins

 

intake/debadge lol

 

the first mods are always boltons and stage 2 for the ss/sc or tune for the ss/tc

 

injen CIA, stage 2, Comp cams, and 4 into 1 heads will get you going.

really the cams might be a later on addition lol. they sound amazing though

 

too bad comp cams doesnt make any cams for the LSJ/LNF/LAP/LE5

 

Too bad they do. ill send you the link.

don't hate

 

im in the same boat as you are, not sure what to do to my ss/sc, i just got i a week ago. I think im doing exhaust and dp and intake with the stage 2 all at once, should see some power

 

OTT STAGE 1,INTAKE AND EXHAUST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UR SET...........for now haha

 

I debadged the Cobalt LS off my trunk and installed an intake just recently. I already have springs, but they're not installed yet cause I'm trying to save up for some Koni struts. Once I do that I'm going to get a LSJ Dp and a Tsudo catback.

 

Cosmetic= Debadge,Tinting, lowering springs, Projector Lights...rims if you've got the money.

Performance= Exahust, CAI, Stage II, DP & header

 

oh yeah i tinted, didnt debadge but painted them, but does spring really look that good on our cars, can i get some pics of lowered cars, i dont really want mine slammed, maybe a lil drop, not to sure yet

 

everyone keeps saying stage 2.... no no no.... ottp stage 1 way way way better

 

ill have to look into that

 

u will def not regret it... heres the link...

now compare that to the stage 2 kit...

 

well bravo to you sir. im still skeptical, as no one else seems to mention these cams at all...ever
possibly a misprint, because looking up that part number on comp cams website lists it for the 2.2 ecotec family. Im not sure if the 2.0 is considered the 2.2 family by their definition...
its also slightly milder than the profile they have for the 2.2 blower set as well...which seemed odd to me.

i will agree to this, but a lot of the newer members who dont even know what mods to start with dont want to void their warranty

 

[QUOTE=HunterKiller89;3655016i will agree to this, but a lot of the newer members who dont even know what mods to start with dont want to void their warranty[/QUOTE]


yeah i dont really want to void the warranty i put a crap load of money out for, but the kit def is better than the stage 2 from gm

 

I've had my SS/SC for about 6 months now and I'm getting ready to do some mods as well... How safe is it to be running the 2.8 MPS in the OTT Stage 1??? From most of what I've seen on here nobody likes to push much more than Nate's 2.85... The OTT sounds good but I don't want my motor to blow up.

 

There no specific first mods everyone should do, it all depends on your plans and how you want your car.

Intake is what i recomend.

 

someone like me with a lot of miles looks pass the warranty, agreed these will deff void it lol. i found two vids on youtube of the SS SC with comp cams. not mistaken for the 2.2. actually it is a yellow one, like mine.

misprint, maybe. we need a senond or third opinion.

the site list part numbers a specifically says for the 2.0 supercharged... thats a Big eff up HAHAHA

ill look more into it.

Here is a link for a cam list, many to choose from. They could be implying that they are universal and suitable for the 2.0 and 2.2. I am iffy on anything universal fit... engines arent cheap

Not disagreeing, but how is the OTT better from factory stage 2? Make me a beleiver =)

 

smaller pully, better tune, cheaper. any questions?

 

DO U KNOW HOW THOSE LOOK WITH HID'S??

 

bragging rights!!! know one else is going to have aftermarket cams. ha but agreed.

might be too good too be true.
