Any one here know what Mods will make a stock cobalt T/C hit the 12 sec. range for quarter mile time? Also, is getting headers and charge pipes worth it? Will they help increase horsepower? They are not cheap and if they only add like 2-5 hp then I'm going to pass.

FIrst off, TC's do not have headers. So thats not going to help you. If you are getting charge pipes, get the charge pipe/intercooler kits available from ZZP/TTR, etc. No point in doing one without the other. As for hitting the 12s range... thats a bit tricky.
You first will have to have full bolt-ons and a pretty aggressive tune to to get the car around ~13.1s. After that, you are looking at a cam swap, full head, or a turbo upgrade. If you dont want to go that expensive, you could realistically get a 12.7-12.9 if you do suspension upgrades, run drag slicks, replace your clutch and axles.... but thats theoretical and probably only on a perfect day.

Cool, Thanks for the advice. Also, wow, T/C don't have headers? Y are the vendors selling them then? LOL And another thing, so I'm guessing that the investment in charge pipes and intercooler wouldn't be worth it then right? And man that is pretty sad than. I thought if I got full bolt ons and the trifecta tune then I would be able to touch the high 12 sec. range... wht do u think my time will be with just a dejon CAI, catted downpipe (I live in CA), exhaust system, and Trifecta tune? Can you give me a guess?

I thought this was a "random talk thread"... is there something that we were specifically supposed to talk about only?

a group is only a sum of it's members;
wasn't Kass & Jordan there?
I can't see sean being intentionally insulting - if anything he seems to be one of the quieter guys of the group...
I feel extra bad for missing the meet (which I planned btw) now...

yellow with wheels..... more importantly i have lost alot of respect for what appeared to be a ok crowd.... it is obvious to me that people talk alot of **** about me over there..... they have no clue who i am or what i know....... only been playing with delta platforms since 07.....
you have NEVER been mentioned in anything than a positive light - but typically there is ZERO talk about anyone (other than in passing) who isn't present...
man this bums me out...

You're being needlessly, downright insulting.
Ok, so you and Sean got off to a bad start - is there really any need to up the anti??
