New owner from Milwaukee

Hello everyone my name is Colin and I recently just purchased a 2006 Cobalt SS. Now I am very new to the ecotec platforms. And I have alot of research to do. I just have a couple of questions in terms of modding these cars. Im looking for a fun daily the can run somewhere around mid to low 13s at the track. I was looking around and I see people run some type of CAI, a DP, smaller pulley and tune. I know ZZP sells alot of aftermarket parts for these cars. Another question. How is the quality of the parts coming out of ZZP. Because some of the parts that I buy for my Buick from ZZP can be shotty.

I only have 1 pic of my Cobalt so far.

I also have a Buick Regal GS that I mentioned above. Now don't let the looks fool you.
Current setup is on E85 running 2.8pulley 20* timing on a stock cam. Car ran 12.900@107 and put down 305whp.

I don't have much experience with ZZP so I can't speak to the quality question, but welcome to the site.

What Kori said about the wheels!!! CMORIS- welcome to the sight, car looks clean. I have several parts on my car that are zzp and they have all been very good. They are one of the few that design, and test, parts for the cobalt platform. I have also pm'd them, and they have always responded within a reasonable time frame. There are several different choices you can do, and honestly i have had good luck with most every vendor i have dealt with. Good luck, and make the car your own.

Welcome, there are a ton of us here in WI

If you like e85 on your GS your really going to like it on your cobalt

ZZP's quality from what I have seen is pretty good, at least from the cobalt side of things, but its to each their own.
