The best bang for your buck performance upgrade is a supercharger kit from an SS cobalt. Check out zzperformance.

you can upgrade to supercharged ss brakes fairly easily if you have 16”+ wheels and are 5 lug. You would just need calipers, rotors, pads, and possibly new brake hoses.

as for the clutch, stock should be fine for a supercharger unless you have a lot of miles. Ive had really good luck with my KY clutch from turbo tech racing.

I have 128k miles, too much? Or are they okay too keep?

If its still the original clutch you should consider replacing it if you do decide to supercharge.

X2 on the KY clutch. I am running the KY Stage 2 clutch and it's very similar in feel to the stock clutch, I've put 30k miles on it without any issues. You could piece together a supercharger kit to save money over the ZZP kit as well but you would likely be getting used parts opposed to new parts from the ZZP kit. I wouldn't recommend the stock pulley on the supercharger as I got bored with it fast and got a good deal locally for a low mile m62 with a GM stage 2 (3.06") pulley.

X3 on KY clutch. I ran it in my car with TVS and it worked great. I switched to a ClutchMasters F400 when I last had my transmission out, because the KY wasn't rated for the torque I am making, but now I have to remove the transmission again because the F400 drug at high rpms which caused me to fubar a synchro between a 2nd-3rd gear forced **** during autocross event. Basically the KY clutch held up great and never failed me even at torques higher than it was rated for.
