Sound
Kicker KS46-2 and KS69-3
Dynex CD/MP3 head but it was stolen on Christmas Day 2005 LOL that kicked ass. Never replaced it

Every last bit of work I did myself and that makes it so much sweeter

Future
NONE! Buying an 03-05 Cavalier/Sunfire in February 07 for a MASSIVE turbo project beginning in March. Keeping my current J as a beater while the new car is in the engine shop for low C/R pistons, rods, and bearings as well as in the transmission shop for Quaife LSD and SPEC clutch. All other work I can do myself. Selling my current J as soon as new car is operational. I'll be broke as hell after this project but damn it'll be worth it

W00000000T!

UPDATE 1/15/07
CAVALIER SELF-DESTRUCTED ON THE INTERSTATE LATE-DECEMBER '06 AND BELONGS TO A LOCAL JUNKYARD!! TURBO JBODY PROJECT IS OFFICIALLY SCRAPPED SINCE NOW I DON'T HAVE A SECOND CAR TO USE, SO I BOUGHT A 2006 COBALT SS SUPERCHARGED ON 1/4/07. NO MODS SO FAR!

FUTURE FOR THE SS SUPERCHARGED:
GMPP Stage 2 upgrade kit
Replacement intake manifold gasket and larger dipstick o-rings with the Stg 2
GMPP Touring Cat-back exhaust
Either the Cobalt-Addiction Header and Downpipe, OR the Vibrant 4-2-1 header already with Downpipe.
Ingalls Torque Dampener
Smaller pulley down the road, probably between 2.7" and 2.9" depending on how far I wanna go
60# Injectors if I go for less than the 2.9"
Custom Tune for larger injectors and smaller pulley
Innovative/AEM UEGO wideband for obvious safety and tuning reasons
Cams Possible
Ported head possible
whatever else I think of....

Only the GM performance parts will be done while I'm still under warranty unfortunately
