Tuning software… no prob 2g eprom and dsmlink and crank the broost! Stop whinning about the gearing put some small 22inch slicks on it and up the power into the 400 range. You’ll love the gearing then. ---

I believe the no lift shift means you keep the hammer down while shifting, keeps the boost up but somehow doesnt fuck things up when you do it. ---

No shift lift detects when the clutch pedal begins to be depressed and bumps the rev limter down to a lower RPM. ---

I’d be willing to bet a BBK from Brembo or another similar company would be cheaper without having to pay dealer markup and such. ---

the ssbc front kit is like $1000 powdercoated any color they offer I think. I dont actually know the whole price because I got mine alot cheaper…I could probably get a discount for someone who wanted it. ---

I dont actually know the whole price because I got mine alot cheaper…I could probably get a discount for someone who wanted it. Is it really worth it though, I hear the stock brakes are pretty stout, Brembo blanks and you should be fine [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/08-colbalt-ss-turbo/44622.md?page=2)
