I just bought a 2010 Cobalt SS as a daily with some power. I also have a 94 Trans Am that makes 502 rwhp so I'm not new to modding cars but turbos and small motors are new to me. Just thought I'd poke my head in here to learn what i can about my new car.

 

Welcome!
Cobalt is a couple steps down in power compared to 502whp
But non the less TC balts are pretty quick
Pictures of Cobalt?

 

Welcome! Are you going to be modding it or just staying stock?

 

welcome!!!

 

welcome, post some pics

 

in 4 pics..

 

x2 of pics of cobalt n transam

 

i dont have any pics of the cobalt yet but ill see if i can dig up some of the ta. its bone stock for now but im thinking gm stage kit, intake and a quiet exhaust.

 

as soon as i figure out how to post pics.....

 

GM Stage 1 is the safe way to go, a hp tune is where you can make the most power.

I reccomend a short ram intake and catless downpipe to start. You'll eventually want to get rid of the plastic upper charge pipe and stock intercooler as well.

Upload your pics to photobucket and paste the image code here.

 

gms1 is safe if still under warranty. if not, then hp tuners is the way to go. intake/charge pipes/intercooler/catless dp + tune will net you a very fun daily driver with well over 300whp

 

Welcome to Cobalt land where there is no escape

 

 

yea, my car still has a lot of warranty left on it. i know the stage 1 kit will retain it but im wondering if the intake and cat back are going to kill it

 

Depends on what dealer you take it too. Just keep your stock parts and put them back on if you need warranty work.

 

whats all done to the T/A? Ive always loved the LT1 motor, just too bad it gets horribly overshadowed by the optispark, and the Ls1

 

396 with 195cc afrs ported to 205cc. M6, daily drivable with a wheel change, full interior and ac

 

oh nice, im debating picking up a lt1 z28 and doing a 383/h/c car in the spring.

 

Depending on your budget, you should look into advanced induction. They do great work with porting stock heads
