Haha yeah I'm 21 now, been drunk ever since my birthday in march.
I think I might still have the stock intake hidden away somewhere in my garage.
I used to want to get an avenger when they first game out and I was young and naive. Then my cousin punched me in the back of the head and I came to my senses and got a cobalt hehe

And if you have that Intake it would be Awesome!

Heard awful things about the Avengers as far as reliability is concerned.
Anyone have some spring compressors I can borrow? If you bring them to me and stay to help install Pedders and TC shocks/struts there is pizza and beer in it for you
I'm in SJ, pretty close to the Milpitas Great Mall.

The supercharger is installed, dropped off at the tuner yesterday, and picking it up tonight after work. I haven't seen the dyno sheet yet, but on the phone the shop said 464 wtq, 530 whp. I'm pretty excited to feel what its like to have that much power.
I'll post up my impressions after I drive around some.

Ok, from the short drive tonight:
Its faster, but not crazy faster. I didn't do any high speed stuff just lower speed acceleration so I can't tell how it would do up top with load, but 2nd and 3rd pull harder.
The tuner advised me to not rev to redline because its already over 10psi 500rpm before redline. No problem so far, but I might have to make some adjustment so I don't get too high on the boost. Maybe an intake restrictor to limit top end air flow?
I thought it would be a bigger difference going from 380/380 to 465/530 but it still seems manageable with the way the power band is. I haven't even had traction problems, but I haven't pinned it in 1st and I have my "summer" tires on the car (100 tread wear so they're pretty grippy).
Slightly different sound, but still fairly stealthy. The blow off valve sound is kind of neat too.
Overall it appears fine and I'm happy with the increased power. I'll have to report back after I get some more time on it in different conditions.
