Welcome! For the price that LNFs go for these days you're better off just buying one of them.

If you got money buy a 2nd motor or supercharge your current one.

you def arent going to want to be doing 180mph in a base model cobalt thats for sure. your gonna have to update your suspension then your going to have to dump some coin into that motor to run a super big turbo to even get to 160 lol. your better off getting an LNF which is the turbo cobalt and doing a big turbo swap on that lol.

I was in the same situation as you before I had an 09 l61 put a good bit of money into it and I'm glad I got the LNF, faster than my base model would've ever been.
As far as supercharging your engine you could do like 8lbs of boost on a stock pulley size on the eaton m62.

No mods make a difference due to the learn down system really unless you get a tune. But usually you just need catless downpipe, intake, tune, if you want to make bigger numbers on stock turbo you'll need either E47 or E85

you can put a supercharger on it but your only gonna make maybe 200-230whp with it unless that motors fully built and you put a tvs which is a bigger supercharger or a turbo on it

there's no way you can be at 219 to the wheels on a 2.2 with only intake and no tune..
LSJ, the supercharged SS only makes 200 stock, the 2.2 makes like 155.

210-215 stock.

but yeah, there is no way a 2.2 is making that kinda power with those mods.
