Some of the people on the Solstice/Sky forums have gotten 320-330whp and almost 400lb-ft of torque out of the LNF with full boltons and the GM stage 1 sensors+tune.

Beyond that and it will have to be a turbo upgrade, then you run into fueling issues around 400whp with the direct injection. Still on the stock internals though!

There is a company offering compressor wheel upgrades on the stock turbo now for about $800.. interested to see the results of that - apparently the upgrade has similar power levels, but pulls a lot harder to redline and allows more power beyond redline.

yeah.. It seems like its fairly cheap (compared to the supercharged) to get 310-320whp, but the futher you go beyond that the exponentially more expensive its going to be.

I would be set w/ around 330hp myself though, after that the car just becomes too much unless you do some suspension upgrades and stuff. 350 is plenty fast in these cars but I am sure if I had one, after it was paid for and i had another car I wouldn't mind having it as a track go'er

The stock 260 is almost too much lol But that whoosh of the turbo and kick in the pants is addicting (which is why I never get above 21 mpg avg)

Its just a little cobalt club.

East Coast Cobalts.

We're about 15 members strong, and we have a sponsership with Marine Chevrolet. They started us out with a decent budget, which will soon grow hopefully.

ugh, too many parts to go on before I need a t00n but I want one now!

Is it true that once I get tuned for the nitrous that when I am not running it, it well run blah?

Most likely... it's hard to make you safe for spray when you don't use it... we don't have an ON/OFF switch for your tune like you have for your spray!

hmm, maybe I should invest in HPT myself so I can have a normal set up on there and a nitrous setup so I can just flash between the two as needed. Big investment though not knowing jack but gotta learn sometime.
