I agree with laxman and sears, sell it and get a real car.  Hondas suck.

GM has brought out 2 different kits to up the horsepower on the Cobalts. Check with your local dealership (they have just now became available).  1 of them includes a SuperCharger.\nHypertech has a great program for the Cobalt but you have to remove the factory GM program & the Hypertech computer installs its' own program.\nThe GM kit is probably the safest bet, though. Since it has been designed specifically for the Cobalt.\nGood choice for a vehicle. I have always been a fan of the Cavalier & the Cobalt is nothing but a body style change. It is built off of the Cavalier platform & they did pretty much prefect it.\nExcellent choice for a vehicle to play around with.

buy a manual boost controller and boost gauge used on ebay, and crank that baby up, not too high tho or it will hurt the motor.  im not sure exactly what type of turbos are on a stock 3000gt, but i had my stock tsi turbo up to about 17 psi or so.

I would check to make sure that the Oxygen sensor is hooked up or is actually able to work with Headers.  I have heard, not experienced that you might have to get another o2 sensor.  Hope this helps.

Well you can do something like a nitrous kit thats quick and easy, very cost effective. You can unlock that much with bolt ons too. Headers, full exhaust, cold air intake, plugs, wires, msd ignition box along with their new cap and rotor. Then get it tuned which is very under rated, you can unlock a lot of power through proper tuning. I dont mean hypercrap or supertrash chips but send you ecu to someone and get it tuned to your individual application and it even costs less to do it that way.

Try calling places like Midas or Monroe. Brake and muffler places do other work as well, and don't cost as much as a dealer.

check the carb, change spark plug...two strokes load up the spark plug very often, check the air filter...and so on..check simple things first..then if u have to rebuild

depends on what muffler u get. many do a great job, look at ones from Flow master, Borla ,Hooker just to name a few. They all have specs on what they sell. After market Headers will inprove the over all flow of exhaust gas as long as u upsize the down pipe and main pipe all the way back to the muffler. Use only stainless steel and stay away from the cheep crap.  also get a NEW o2 senser so the computer can know what is going on. Bosch makes a good one.

Put on a larger prop; make sure that in use it is perpendicular in the water. \nMake sure your air filter is clean  (or new).\n Find some one in your area who knows your type of engine, and listen to them carefully.

Scrap both ideas and get a cam, port the heads, and carburate it.  You'll see more results than fuel injection for a very reasonable price, a pre GenIII small block like yours is cheap to build up!

First - the word is "exHaust", not "exuast".  Losing the caps would be nice, too ;-)\n\nanyway..\n\nOnly a less restrictive exhaust -system- will change the sound noticeably.  Around here, those mufflers aren't known as "fart cans"; they're known as "cop callers".\n\nNoise for the sake of noise is useless.  If you want growl with a purpose, get a Mustang. Affordable, easy to get parts, and you actually get some performance for your buck.

Get a Mustang GT and a Paxton supercharger kit. You should be running 450-500 horsepower at the rear wheels with that setup.

Is it a gas or a Diesel?  Thie easiest way to think about HP. is this:  You need either air to go faster into the engine...or faster out of the engine.  Easy inexpensive fixes could be a cold air intake or a throttle body spacer.  These would allow air to enter your engine faster.  Another option is a more free flowing exhaust...sucking air out faster.  If you want to spend more money..a computer chip or programmer (you have to run premium gas if you have a gas vehicle)..or supercharger or turbo.  These are more expensive than the options above

the only people thatve answered so far that has any clue as to what to do are mcneilbradley and mehotdude3 and it looks like me hot got his answers straight out of gran turismo....get a cold air intake.....full exaust....for inexpensive....depending on the car you could order a spoon gtr motor for certain imports like the wildly popular civic...or...for domestic just order a crate motor......blue printed and port and polished???? that really does cost around 10 to 15 thousand dollars.....600 hp crate motor...$5000 and a lot more results

Drive less. Get a tune up, in general use less gas.
