Looking to buy performance parts..

Hey guys,

Im Kyle and im 17 years old. I have a 2006 Cobalt LT 2.2L Coupe 2 DR. Im looking to either buy performance parts or a new engine for my Cobalt. What would be the best parts to buy to get the most out of my car? Also where would I find a place to buy a Stage 1,2,or 3 Cobalt SS engine? Would it fit in my car? I do know things about cars but im not brightest one wit them. I was thinking if I cant find an engine for a decent price, then get a 3" exaust system, with a Cold Air intake. After that I dont know what else to buy. My friends said a turbo or supercharger would blow my engine, but I dont think it will. Any suggestions?? Sites to buy this stuff is much appreciated.


P.S. Sorry if this is hard to read and if its too much.

My hot rod days are over. However, here's just one of many sources. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/

Doing a search will show several.

i got the same car and this is what i did. and no a turbo/supercharger would not blow your engine if you take care of it.

i bought a s/c system off a friend and he installed it.

none of this is gonna be worth a shit unless you know how to tune it. i would recomend you get someone to help you with this. i also recomend the smt6 piggyback system. thats what i got and it works fine.-http://www.perfectpower.com/products/smt6.asp

if you want nitrous its cheap and works good. if you go with nitrous read up about it before you blow your engine with it-http://www.jegs.com/i/Nitrous%20Express/744/30040-10/10002/-1

you can also get costom tubes for your intake. it probably would be cheaper too.

theses are just cheaper parts for someone with a smaller budget. nitrous works good :)

oh and if its a manual and your gonna run it hard your gonna need to get a performance clutch. if you dont your gonna burn your stock one up in a few months even if you drive right. the cobalt stock clutch is a piece of shit
