Really how simple? Any way look for the big stupid wing on the Balts, the supercharged version is the only one to get that treatment. A guy I work with has a Balt that ran a 12.8 with a 75 shot. There not bad but from everything I've read,the Stock motor doesn't hold to mods as well as other performance cars in that price range.
The stock motors in the Cobalt SS/SC are pretty much bullet proof like the Terminators. I believe the only weak link is the rods, and for a few hundred dollars that can be fixed.
Yea thats sounds right. I've heard the rods are week and pistons may give some issues also.
I believe there have been a few instances in pistons going bad, but I've heard all you gotta do is lower the compression and you'll be good to go til over 400hp. I love the Ecotec motor, I used to have one, but when I bought it I didnt know sh*t about the motor and I got an automatic Alero, but now I either want a Cobalt SS/SC or a Cavalier and build the sh*t out of it.

LMAO, that is funny right there. You guys always seem to find the funniest things. I'm really surprised the Military guys here at Ft. Campbell dont do sh*t like.
