Loaded the stock timing tables back on. The guy who did my reflash (who is a reputable tuner in the Cobalt community) loaded a wack ass timing table onto the car that I no longer have the time or patience to adjust. _[![http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/2674/fuckgk.th.png](http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/2674/fuckgk.th.png)](http://img203.imageshack.us/i/fuckgk.png/)_ Time to start from scratch. \*sigh\* ---

Now that the VC is on, I kind of want to sandblast it bare metal and paint the lettering individual, instead of the reverse. To match the Intake Manifold. ---
