well then maybe he got better but i know of many cars that didn’t run for long after said tunes were done
well, i cant vouch for tunes from him since he isnt tuning my car, but i do like his other work so far.
well then hopefully your car will be ok then
looks good that thing will scoot pretty good @ 260whp
ya pretty much. but i gotta admit, even stock its a fun car to drive. im sure yours will be alot of fun for you also.
sweet pics man
i’m diggin the hood, where’d ya get it?
thanks, got it from cobalt addiction.
Paint the hood.
Not bad at all…i’ve been wanting to see a turbo’d balt.
arn’t you up miracle mile all the time and you never asked me for a pittspeed sticker? crap you add the sticker on there thats like 10hp son. :bigthumb:
wtf u told me it was 5hp a sticker…now its 10 geesh
no, i dont really go up there much. havent been up there for a long time, at least over a year. there was a guy with a red cobalt ss/sc with the hood like mine but i think he traded that in for a truck now, maybe thats who you were thinking of.
was that tyou on 51 today at 830ish?
congrats
no ,not me on 51 though i do travel thru there alot to go to my mother in laws house to pick up my daughter if i work late.
You’re talking about Dan’s car. Dan, Al, and I already looked at ssdragon’s car with HPT. We’re the ones that told him if he gets a wbO2 then we can start from scratch and tune it.
SBR called me today to tell me that my turbo is in. We’re planning on doing the install on the 16th of June out in Greensburg (I have the same car for those that don’t know). After that weekend, we should have a solid tune for this car under boost. However, I’ll be running a GM 2.5 BAR MAP sensor… so you’d have to pick up one of those if we were to use my tune as a starting point for your car. You’ll be better off with one anyway.
Did you ever change out your plugs? I found some decent plugs from NGK if you need numbers.
As for this motor… stock CR is 10.4:1 on cast pistons. Wiseco offers 8.5:1 forged pistons. Rods are forged from the factory and good for a few hundred HP. Rest of the motor should hold 500HP before trouble.
Later this summer, probably in August, I’ll be throwing in reground cams, Wiseco pistons, Ferrea valves/springs, and possibly neutral balance shafts. I’ll probably end up running 10psi on that setup. I wouldn’t go more than that without rebuilding the tranny. This tranny (4t45e) is stout… but not that stout. IPT in New Jersey rebuilds them to handle 500-600HP for about $3000 (includes high stall TC). I haven’t found anyone closer that’ll do the same overhaul yet (waits for suggestions from locals).
I’m interested in seeing this car fully tuned though. I want to see how it stacks up against my setup.
yeah, i do wanna get a wideband and change the map but i wanna wait for sure to see how far that gets you before throwing in the cash.
Wideband is expensive… but GM 2.5 bar map sensor is only like $36.
i see u got the vertex racing headlights…i’ve been lookin at the same ones with the painted black style
thats not bad, my dealer quoted me $80 for the sensor. whered you get your price?
