depends what you want to do. for a little more you can get some decent lowering springs, could get a rear swaybar, short shifter, or just save for an ott stage 1 kit.
myself, with that little bit to spend id just save it. we drive gm's, they will break eventualy.

got solid mounts yet? you're 17 in a cobalt ss sc. im sure u race from digs, you can get the ttr solid engine mount + poly tranny bushings for $200. that'll let you go fast without breaking axles or looking silly sitting there bouncing at a light.
then do the ottp stage 1

COOLING! dont get ottp stage one if you dont have any cooling mods. Do dual pass thats just over 100 bucks, or get the ZZP HE thats like 180, and then throw on a stu mod, you can get the parts for that for like 20 bucks at autozone and it helps out a ton. Dont just throw power mods on without cooling first.

keep saving your money and buy all the parts at once so you only have to get it tuned one time insted of going back 2 or 3 times, and go zzp..ottp sucks zzp ftw

no retune needed after heat exchanger. just keeps the car cooler. im sure you could tune it a little bit but the gains would not be worth the money to tune it.

Basically what your doing is taking the test tube coolant holder and replacing it with a muuuuuch bigger one, which lets you hold more coolant which drastically drops your IATs PM if you want some more instructions.

ok. how does this order of parts sound.
1. ottp stage 1 kit
2. stu mod(shortly after stage kit)
3. s3 zzp heat exchanger
4. headers and downpipe.
I won't need to re-tune after any of that will I?
