OK guys just wanted to do a small greet im winky been in the army since 17 and now im on some relax time doing National Guard. Love chevy to death. I owned a older camaro with a 383 and 373 posi. was a good car back in the day then gas went to almost 5bucks for 91. So i bought some 4cycs mazda 240sx. and THen i got my chevy cobalt ss/sc

Not bragging but i have a cobalt ss/sc and a ton of bolt ons and = to stage 4-5 my car dyno at 294whp and 268wtq and while fun am just board with the car. No crazy burnouts, drifting, and powerslides. My friends 2001 transam was so slow and he himself dynod at 410whp and still lost but then he got 373 and now he walks me from a dig =( still get him from a roll.

I guess my questions and goals are to hit 500+ whp without N2o or boreing?

The one i was looking at getting is a 98 with slp loud mouth and thats it what are the problems i hear 98s have? i cant seem to find real facts about this year.

the mileage is 124k but ive met the guy really old man and mostly freeway miles and prolly really low abuse. im wondering what are good cams and heads to get? is it even worth porting the stockers?

I was thinking about adding 1.75 inlet and 3inch outlet headers ? long tube of couse an problems with long tubes.

do i need a new rear end for 500whp or will gears be fine? will 373 work or do i need to bump up to 411?

Whats a good clutch to handle this kinda whp and do i need to replace anything else? do lighter flywheels make a good difference?

DRIVETRAIN ok? does anything need to be replaced?


Now for keeping the car on the road what all is need to keep this car a bit tamer like toruqe dampners. And other stuff like solid mounts?


THanks guys sorry for the poor spelling

all of those mods you stated could easily break $ 15-20,000. not including the car. Estimate..?

there are so many questions in the post it's hard to know where to begin.

You may want to try searching around for some answers first, then ask specific questions. That way people will reply, otherwise I doubt you'll get very many responses because to answer your questions we'd have to repost most of Ls1tech itself...

I'll start with:

Yes the ls1 powerplant is very reliable, there are endless camshaft and head choices, search and you'll find thousands of threads on heads and cams. As well as thousands of bottom end setups.

Trans whether auto or manual (depends on your liking) but the auto's have been known to be better for drag racing, while the 6 speed cars get better gas mileage and are better roll racing typically. Again this depends on what rear gear you're running which boils down to the common 3.73 for auto and 4.10 gear for the 6 speed.
In most F bodies the weak link in the driveline is the rear end. To that the common approach of attack is replacement by: 12bolt, 9 inch, Dana60 rear, or custom fab by MWC for the wealthy (LOL).

Best shocks are "koni's" available through Sam strano www.stranoparts.com

best springs are "Strano" available through above link as well, Same goes for sway bars.

*again- this is popular opinion*


I'm also a little concerned that you beat a 410rwhp f body with your sub 300rwhp cobalt, that doesn't seem right even from a roll. ????


Good luck!

 

Everything you could ever want to know about what you are asking can be found on this site already, most likely already in a sticky.

 

oh look im not the only *** lol

 

lol, IB4TL

 

wow thanks for nothing then guys not really trolling gaining info before you buy i think thats a smart thing to know. Second For the lt and the purple ls1 i ran a 12.2 at 114 with DR and i bet with DRs your POS lt1 ran high 12s and i doubt your purple ones even in there but ill just grab the info i need then and **** this site is full of dicks

 

lol go take a look at my fquick ya **** bag, it will tell ya everything bout my junk LT1. and if u really wanna be billy bad *** bring that **** to ky and ill run ur *** for any amount of cash u can come up with. ill drive my other street car anywhere anytime to meet ya just say when bitch

 

oh and on a side note my LT1 has never seen a DR. 18" pep boy tires is what was on the car when it went 12s

 

lol well i wondered what that gay tattoo was on your back but after seeing your face i finally see the retard thank you

 

awww u think im cute dont ya. so u just goin to dance round my post? grow some ball and back up that **** sucker of urs.

 

lol your cars arnt even worth a 80s honda civic please grow up and get a decent job/ car

 

lol ur killin me here. and at this point i know ur a bitch that aint goin to do **** but let words fall out of that *** dump. ur a keybored bad *** that aint goin to do ****. u asked questions that have been asked 1927464892 times and have been answered 1927464892 times. so stop being a lazy **** and do some reading. people might be willing to help u if u had a ****** clue what u were takin bout. hell u dropped no telling how much money in a colbalt to make the kinda power my lt1 made stock. so that right there shows u r a ****** retard. and wtf is a stage 4 or 5? that means nothing! i have a stage 1000 trans am that will bust ur *** any day any time track street dig or roll. so do something bitch

 

Your 294hp cobalt must of felt so fast compared to a 410hp t/a... lol your ******* retarded.

You come in here asking for help/idea and its obvious you took no time researching anything what so ever.

There is a whole ******* thread about how to reach 500rwhp.

Problems with 98's talked about a million times on this site.

What good heads and cam to get? Did you look in the section for this, there are another million "what head and cams should i get" threads.

You want to start trash talking this site again you are ******* retarded, take some time and research the forum, it full of TONS OF INFO. Then come back and once you found a setup you like, post about it instead.

 

Bro, i hate to say it too but research quite a bit on here. There are alot of ways to hit that power level and supporting mods you will need to easily make it to 500whp+. The stickies at the top of every section have a lot of great info and will answer just about everything you asked. I would shy away from the 98, not to say that there is anything wrong with them. But the PCM is different from 99-02's and is a little harder to tune a 98.

Also, just about all knowledge with the Cobalt can be thrown out the window because Fbodys are to totally different animal fella. Not trying to sound like a dick bro, but it's the truth.

This sticky which is at the top of this section will answer everything.

+1 ^ ....Ive recently got hooked on this damn website ever since being in the market for a WS6, there is more information on this website than you shake a stick at seriously... the stickies at the top of each forum should be considered the ls1 bible. personally I have learned more about engines/trans/head/cams etc on this website than any class or training course ever did, these are just down *** chevy riders who are willing to help you if your willing to put a little time in on your side... not too complicated. sorry for the rant lol
