The manual is available from GM and you can get 1100hp out of these motors, but that is an all out racer. The GM book lists part numbers and specs. If you go to an NHRA race, they may have the book in the GM Performance booth.
There is a 19 yr old girl here in So.Cal that runs a non-turbo unblown Cobalt. 2 years ago I saw her run 11.20 sec in the 1/4 at Pomona. The car sounds sweet. Talked to her father and he was going to super charge it. They were shooting for 9 second e.t.'s.
She runs most Tursday evenings at Irwindale raceway street drags.
So.Cal. Speed Shop ran an HHR at B'ville, but at 249mph it went airborn. They have built a few Eco motors and gone real fast.

And yes, converting a Camaro to FWD is usually enough to send one to hell... :)

Can I get a "hell yeah!"?
I can see in 10 years maybe, when the Red Sled is a little tired and I'm moving on to an electric or hydrogen car for a daily driver... doing exactly this.
With side pipes. And fuel injection.
