i _think_ the problem is that the supercharger that comes on them from the factory is desinged to run at max. efficiency from the factory. by adding a pully, it runs the supercharger too hard, thus producing a LOT of extra heat in the engin compartment. I havent actually seen the car that i am talking about, and i only heard about it from my cousin, but i do kno that only other mods he had were intake and exhaust. perhaps it was a bad idea to bring it up in the first place seen as how i never actually saw the car. my bad. carry on!

True dat… and Cory hasn’t shown what he’s bringing to the table for next season yet, either.

Oh yeah, and on topic…

It’s about time someone else bought a cobalt ss/sc. There aren’t a whole bunch of upgrades out for it yet. K and N has an intake along with Injen. Magnaflow has a catback for the LOW LOW price of $600 something lol. The GM upgrades are supossedly(can’t spell) coming out the first quarter of 2006 which is great because I found out that the stock injectors are running at 95% duty cycle at wide open throttle in stock form. [Cobaltss.net](http://Cobaltss.net) is a decent place to find out select pieces of info on it. Nice pickup btw 🙂

I walked out to one of the UB parking lots closest to J.J. audubon yesterday and there was a red cobalt ss parked there, it looked brand new. Is that either of yours? The front bumper looked like a damn snowplow, is that stock cuz thats the first thing i’d replace.

I agree - way better than the last gen cavy. But to pick it over an EVO? You must have gotten a sweet deal on it…

-----OFF-TOPIC ALERT!------  
If you are doing a work assignment, the worker chief must be notified of it, even if it is “working in the food tent”. Otherwise, you will loose your times.

I dont know… probably cheeper than an evo and IMHO, I think it looks a little better.

granted not the same performance (evo owns it bad) but not a bad pick by any means

first thing i would do is pull your fuse cover off in the center console and cover the heater control wires with split loom! we worked on a slobalt ss sc a few weeks after the guy got it and we went into the fuse pannel and were checking the pannel and noticed that wires were sparking and the heat would shut on and off. turns out gm never coverd the wires in the dash and they grind against the metal brackets for the console. just a suggestion if you dont want any problems down the line. however i like what they did to the exterior and the upgrade seats are nice i just dont like the interior plastic.
