technically.... i'm not doing ram air, it is a functional hood but my intake goes into the other side of the engine bay and is a cold air. this hood is actually for a Pontiac G5... where they have the same intake location as your car, but i like it more than the one they made for the Cobalts... so i bought it. if i do go turbo though, it'll actually be a real ram air

yea i hear you, i'm trying to figure out if i'll ever stop with this car...... right now i have a decent list of stuff i still want to do to it. but i think i can everything done by the end of summer and then i'll figure out if i want to continue with a turbo swap, tvs upgrade or stop modding it. i actually would love to stop right now, haha, sell everything i have and then start paying this thing off to where i could possible trade it in for a SS/TC or something else.
is the $900 for assembling the engine and then swapping it in and hooking everything up or.... just swapping engines in?

well $250 for a shop in newark to assemble the engine and i called another shop to install but i gotta see if its $900 to swap or install cause i plan on taking out the old engine myself. but im thinkin i might as well have the shop thats assembling the engine go ahead and install it. but i dont have anyone to take my car up there while im gone...and i dont really trust any of my friends down here to do it. they all really see cobalts as a POS

system is ridiculous! I couldnt be happier! 
now the bad...Mike swapped my wing with tims w/o asking me (mine was cracked) The problem is...he didnt paint it so it doesnt match the hood...and its hazed on the top all to hell. I flipped out on him on Friday...we'll see what he does to 'resolve the situation'

yea, i will have the money next week. as far as the shop goes. when i leave in may if i can find a trustworthy person to do it, ill paypal money into their account while im gone to pay the shop with. when im gone money wont be that much of an issue. i called the shop about an estimate for swapping the engine and he said call him back at 4...he was sayin somethin about them doin a software update and having to install it. i know they got a dyno up there too so i could have them dyno it and maybe tune it
