From Honda To Chevy
Hello. I just joined CobaltSS.net. I bought a '07 Cobalt LS Coupe two weeks ago. I'm lovin' it! I went with an automatic since I'm going to be driving it to work. Shifting in traffic for a long period of time isn't too fun. It's quick for an automatic. I sold my '94 Accord EX (stick shift) because I needed something more reliable. The Accord was quick. The last car I raced in the Accord was a modified Cobalt SS Supercharged. I beat it by at least 2 car lengths. The top end on the Accord was intense. I miss the performance. That is why I am posting this thread. I need POWER! What are your suggestions about performance set-ups? I was thinking about starting out with the following: DC Exhaust, Injen Cold Air Intake, and PaceSetter Header. What do you think? Thanks, guys.

welcome to the site 
I started off with a base 2.2 and moved up to a 2.4. I didn't really do much performance wise with it. There is really no ECU support out for the 2.2 yet either. The easiest way to get power for the least amount of money would probably be spray.
Good luck with everything and I'm sure the s/c boys won't like hearing you beat one with an accord

I had the motor swapped to a JDM H22 which pushes 200hp stock and had it built. I have to admit, even though the Accord was quick, I like my new Cobalt much better.

My car may not be a Vette or a n/a RSX Type-S, but I am proud to drive a Cobalt. Isn't that right guys?

the RSX was probably modified.... and he said the H22 motor has 200hp stock. in a lighter car, also depending on the cobalt driver.... he didnt say what mods the cobalt had. it coulda been an airbod mod and an engine dampener for all he knows..... but thats not what this thread is all about!.....
WELCOME!!!
