No this is not another SRT post. I happen to come accross this at

I think if there was a way to reach peak 500rpm earlier it would have even better performance.
Will the lack of limiter make this better or will we just kill the engine?
Any oppinion?

Is there any way to get the hp peak before readline instead of right at redline. All the other cars that I've had the hp actually starts to go down around redline. If you shift at the right time you actually keep the optimal hp within your shift point instead of shifting at the peak and working your way back up.I really like the Cobalt too. Much better looking both inside and out than the SRT-4 IMO. It may be a few tenths slower in the quarter mile, but thats nothing a few mods woudn't fix
Ion Relines have been putting down between 200-210 HP at the wheels, which is very impressive to say the least. The engine is also still making power when it hits the rev limiter, so there is even more potential if the limiter can be raised with an aftermarket chip.
Heres the link to a dyno graph that an owner posted on redlineforums.com:
