We’ve been working hard over here to bring all of you the latest on the LNF Stage kits as the information becomes available. As we released more and more information it seems we received more and more questions, from you, about the LNF Stage kit. Is it a good deal? Why doesn’t it deliver X amount more horsepower? Will it turn my Cobalt SS Turbo into a chick magnet? While we’ve worked with the great folks over at GM to get answers to every one of your questions, one seems to still linger around – why doesn’t the LNF Stage 1 make more horsepower than the LSJ Stage 2 kit? While this may seem like a ridiculous question it deserves an answer. So we got with Bill Duncan over at GM HPVO again and he helped us explain the answer a little better.

The Cobalt Stage 1 Kit is well along its way to being available at a dealer near you. As such, we hear more details weekly that we can then pass on to you, the Cobalt SS Turbo owner and fan. If you are the lucky owner one of these turbocharged monsters, you’ll be able to run out and buy the new Stage 1 kit from a GMPP dealer and instantly add 20hp and 60lb.-ft of torque to your Cobalt and keep your full factory warranty intact. In addition to the added power, the kit serves as the gateway mod for the Cobalt and will disable the “learn down feature” of the stock PCM. This nifty feature allows your Cobalt to fully utilize any other modifications (intake, header, exhaust, downpipe, etc) that you’ve may have or wish to add in the future – making your dream 350hp Cobalt a very close reality.

 

An LSJ in an Aveo? Yeah, you read right. Jason Whitfield builds some of the cleanest go fast machines you’ll ever see and was in the mood to build the ultimate sleeper. He loves the 2.0L LSJ ECOtec engine and as he looked around the GM stable he saw the Aveo and his mind was set. Being one of the smallest cars on the road no one would ever expect an Aveo to blow their doors off but that is exactly what this car will do. Whitfield goes over his whole build and how he built up his monster Aveo in the June 2008 Issue of Super Street that is on newsstands now. Many of you are familiar with Jason Whitfield from his Candy Red Whitfield Racing Cobalt Drag Car. That same engineering and technology was brought over to this Aveo project.
