FREE MODS anyone????

[cobalt-z]

is there anymore free mods to boost even 1-2 hp on my 2.2l ls 5-speed that anyone knows of? open for ideas.

Take out the resanators. Theres one in the pass. front wheel well. Just take out the fender well cover and take out two bolts. and pull the big black box out.

[cobalt-z]

i did that already any othersbesides that?

Speed isn't free, pull out the charge card if you are serious about going fast or forget about it.

Remove everything from the car you don't need -- rear seats, spare tire, tire wrench, hubcaps, floor mats, etc. LOL

Can't think of any other "freebies"!

First...1-2hp? Why is that gonna matter lol I'm just wondering.

[cobalt-z]

idk really, but it seems like theres not a whole lot i can do with the ls version that won't cost me a fortune like turbos, and superchargers ya know. i cant wait for 3yrs to pass so i can get the ss/tc balt. that will be more worth while.

Unless you're a REALLY experienced mechanic the basics are all you can do to the LS/LT models -- exhaust and intake. Cams are available but they are not an easy install (timing chain alignment can be a big headache). Nitrous is another avenue but I personnaly don't recommend it. Speed = money...how fast do you want to spend?

if you want.. go to ebay and buy a performance module...they advertise 30+hp but i doubt it.. i would say more like in the area of 2-3 maybe a lil more.. or there is a lil resistor you can buy that looks like a paper clip that you attach to you intake air temperature sensor(IAT) or MAF. What the resistor does is trick your IAT to read a colder air intake into the engine making a richer fuel/air ratio. MOre power.. BUt again its only prob 1-2 hp.. MAybe if you throw the module and and the resistor on together you can about 4 hp..or just go to ebay and buy an cold air intake(CAI) for like $60.. that good for about 10hp depending on your engine.

hope it helps

do not go to ebay and buy that resistor, obviously it is not a good idea to trick your MAF (something used to make sure your car runs correctly) into thinking something false is true it isn't worth the 1-2 hp you will get
