I couldn't resist.
I hate the weak pointless questions. Just do the research. Find out how much hp you have approximately. Subtract a little to be sure, and then get on Google. In 10 minutes he could find all the cars that he runs with. Not to mention that hp may not even be the best way to approach this. What he should really do is run it down the track, get a stead-fast ET and then do his research.

according to Zex, "shot" is a slang term for the horsepower setting you are currently using
to me, that means HP level that you are shooting for...which can vary by bottle pressure. i've seen some tests where they supposedly match the shot size to HP at the wheels on a dyno (i believe this was done with an NX kit)
on a 75 shot, IonFeright if I remember correctly dyno at 180whp and 210wtq which is close enough IMO

Sorry but you are also wrong on this. A jet is designed to give you a certain amount of flow. You can only tune so much out of this set amount of extra boost that you're getting otherwise the companies that make nitrous products wouldn't rate the nossles in HP....

That is why I have decided to just go with appearance mods and save my money to build a rwd car for the power. I have a 73 Camaro and an 82 Firebird I could build. Also a 72 Grand Prix for cruising. Some day I may even be able to find the time to build a chassis to set my 34 Ford Pickup cab onto.
No amount of money is going to make my 2.2 cobalt fast enough to justify it.

Hey... if they can make a mini-van into a turbine powered race craft... imagine what you could do with a cobalt. You'd have to had like 3 tons of weight to the front end so you wouldn't actually fly... but it would be fast none the less.

Same way how i feel... To me the cobalt is like a lat 90's model eclipse.. You can get them to look real nice but they will always be slow... To me not even the SC's are mind blowing fast..
If i want to go fast ill get a car made for it.. if i want a nice little peppy car that gets nice gas mileage and looks nice as a casual DD i will get a cobalt .. just like i did..
Why spend so much money making something fast when u can buy something fast and just make it faster... Its such a cheaper and imo smarter way to do things...
