Hi all I just picked up a Silver 09 SS Sedan. Been looking at picking one up as a second car for some time and finally found one in good shape with not too many miles (DD is a 01 Honda Insight 5spd 60+ MPG ). I'm sure the previous owner was no doubt a member on here. I sold my Evo IX to get the wifey a new car so picked up the Cobalt with the spare change left over. Its a quick little car. Have some plans but just saying hey for now. I do have a few questions though since I'm new to the platform. I'll post those in the appropriate sub forums. Thanks guys

 

Welcome. What are your build plans? Also I believe I can answer a question or 2 for you

 

Welcome Buddy I'm in northern Virginia and Im guessing you somewhere around Richmond area

 

Welcome man!

 

Thanks I actually just plan on bolt ons and maybe e85. I don't want to put too much power down and lose driveability. It already blows the front tires off when pushed.

And zeeky I'm actually about a hour and half west of Richmond

 

Full E or E47? E47 u can do on stock fuel system full E you need upgrades

 

I was thinking full E for simplicity. What upgrades other than injectors I assume?

 

Fuel cam. I tuned a guy around 400hp full E and his IPW and pressure both look great

 

Here she is

 

Haha looks like my LE5. I need CF in my life. Looks good

 

Whats 400 wheel hp like in these cars ? I'd imagine traction would become a serious issue. Take away from some of the "fun" of driving it?

 

Mines 511hp

 

 

Thanks. I'd like to lower it soon. Don't want it slammed tucking tire lol but a good finger gap probably.

 

I saw that 511 in your Sig lol. I bet its a handful

 

Man your moving. Reminds me of my Evo. Ill see if I can find any old vids

 

Nope easy to drive. That vid it was cold and I was on winters. That being said I don't trust other ppl to drive it

 

I feel you. Guys would always try to get me to let them drive the Evo, the answer was always a no lol

 

If you need tuning kmo is your guy I'm also working on making 450+ on my car working on Tuning with him

 

How difficult of a job is it to install cams in the LNF? I did it in the Evo wasnt too bad but I had become so familiar with that car. Feels weird not knowing much about this one. I had a J-body tho lol does that count?

 

My brother always asks and he has never driven anything fast

Same as the Evo. Cam timing is really easy

 

Thanks for the info and advice KMO . I had actually been googling and searching trying to figure out how I'd get this thing tuned eventually. I'll def hit you up when I start modding

 

For sure no problem. Ya PM me if you have any questions
