Tuning is fairly universal for the most part, I am sure the guy is a great tuner that is very experienced in this platform. Every platform has this kind of guy, he has had hundreds of the same car in and he knows what tunes have worked in the past… I was simply suggesting a local solution that will be just as good if not better. Don’t come at me like I’m putting down this Cobalt god of yours, I am sure he does just fine.
No hate here, bro. I just don’t like it when you say that Nick @ BYT is “much better” than Morgan, it sounds like you are cupping the other guys balls. I understand that his business is heavily specialized in the platform and has a book of tunes that he uses.
When it comes to HP Tuners or “HP tunners” as you call it, I know what parameters are available and the limitations for the platform and pretty much any other GM you can think of. I am no n00b when it comes to tuning, I’ve been using HP Tuners since version 1 when it still used RS232 instead of USB.
Have fun with your car and I hope the tune is awesome, I’m done here.
P.S. - 401whp on stock turbo isn’t really all that amazing. If it was done boost only I would consider it to be pretty cool, but it was being sprayed.
