Trifecta Tuning?
I'm new had a 740il used to walk all over Cobalt's and thought they were a joke. I just want to get to where my 740il was. I know it's a completely different car. Anyway I've been looking up some stuff on Trifecta Tuning and I can't find any really solid information.
What does it add to a 2006 Cobalt LS 2.2 L Coupe.
How much does it cost?
Thanks

I did some quick research, and the only model that wasn't a dog was the 93 model, which did a best of 15.3, highly attainable with a cobalt with bolt ons and a tune. The newer models actually went slower, around 15.9 in the 1/4.
So, there ya go. I don't see how you were spanking cobalts unless it was a 93 like I said.
No model I'm finding goes over 300 stock? Is it a newer model?

No I just want to get around 14 sec 1/4 mile if possible. or somewhat close to that. I know I won't have 300+ hp unless I put my life savings into it.

+ Dinan Chip. It had a timer in I clocked a 5.9 0-60..1/4 mile was harder to clock but I got around 14.1 in that.

No need for forced induction, just bolt ons, tune, and a n20 setup, 75 shot for low 14's high 13's.

Intake will add maybe 5 hp, exhaust is definitely the next step for you, you need a pretty open exhaust for that nitrous kit.

I'd rather not put Nitrous don't want my car to blow up. I space out at times and would engage it at like 2000 rpm haha. What's the best exhaust for a reasonable price is the NS1 decent?

I would personally recommend this site.

Nowhere else can you get a 2.5" stainless steel exhaust for 330. Aluminized steel for 255.

That nets the most gain out of all bolt ons. After that, you can get tuned, but I would get n20 first.
With just bolt ons, you're not going to see 14's. It's going to take some nitrous at least.

Manifold
Intake
Exhaust
Trifecta Tuning
Those things seem within my budget. It'll be a year or so until I add anything else on. How much willt hose things help me? What 1/4 mile am I looking at. Will I "feel" the difference?

With those mods you'll be looking at mid 15's with auto, low 15's with standard. Low 14's/high 13's with a 75 shot. (which is totally safe if installed correctly)
