More Boost?

[sbsmith89]

I have a 2006 Cobalt SS and the boost is set at 15psi. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the most effective way of getting more horsepower without tweaking the boost?

By the way, my name is Brad and I am a new member, so anything will help.

Thanks

tune with advancing timing/spark along with bolt on mods will do it

Hey appreciate that advice...i was thinking about that...would you happen to know the best manual boost controller?

[BankDude]

... you're a supercharged cobalt... there is no boost controller for a supercharger

lol. the only way you can make more boost is dropping pulley sizes. and dropping pulleys mean bigger injectors, cooling mods and tuning

they have stage kits available. i would suggest asking them what you should do depending on your power goals. don't just drop pulley sizes and expect it to work properly

Im trying to get into auto cross and road course races...is zzp a good place to look for suspension mods too?

[BankDude]

yea they're good with everything they have for cobalts. if you're serious about auto x, i would suggest koni shocks and struts, maybe some new springs. definitely moog endlinks and a rear sway bar at the very least. engine/tranny mounts would be good to prevent wheel hop when coming out of a turn.

 

[sbsmith89]

Alright...will that configuration suit road courses well too?

[BankDude]

also upgrade your brakes. suspension and brakes win auto x and road courses

Oh ok...cool...i really appreciate the help
