I've been debating between SC and TC for the past few months now, but SC is a lot cheaper/easier to install.
And I didn't buy the kit yet, but I'll have enough in exactly 6-8 weeks.
I'm just going to buy the ZZP kit.

he means anything internal like pistons/rods/valve springs/etc... with just the SC i'd guesstimate you to put down about 205/215 WHP being you're automatic, manual would be closer to 220/225. the stock rods are rated to around 250, and i believe that is crank HP not WHP

That does look nice.
And no I'm not going to mess with internals too much, I just want a little more power without having to do major work.
This car is just to last me through the next 3 years of college and then it'll become a beater.

Yea i'm wayy happy with it. It looks much more complete than the tan did.
Toastie, you say that now but you'll have so much done to it that you'll be better off buying a beater and using the cobalt as your toy.

Painted some interior pieces white. The full dash trim is going to be sticker bombed.
Painting these pieces was hell, at first the paint bubbled, and then when taking off the tape, I realized there are a lot of imperfections that make me very irritated for the ring around the shifter, the rest actually came out very well.
I have a video for now, but I'll take pictures tomorrow.
The pieces painted white: both door trim pieces, side window defroster vents, steering wheel bezels, gauge cluster frame, cup holder, ring around shifter, and the compartment where trunk release is.
Silver trim pieces (around radio, above glovebox, around steering wheel) are going to be sticker bombed. I bought the Stickerbomb 2 book from Amazon.com.
