good shit man keep it up

thanks! BTW, my dad took my car to get dyno'd w/ the new tune Vince sent that fixed the problem up top. you wont believe how much he said it dyno'd at. LMAO too funny.

The issue was around 6200 RPMS the timing table was off a bit. everything was set to 17.5 degrees advance except at that point in the rpm range. It was set to 15.5 degrees advance and robbed me of some power on the dyno. But its all better now!!! and happy :party33:

the 20's are for car shows and the 17's are for daily driving and track racing. read what is posted next to the 20's and you will see that is says show only. sorry if i came off like a dick w/ the reply, im a pretty blunt and straight forward kinda guy

267 isn't too bad.. I need to hit the dyno again.. so i can claim the top spot for 2.4's :):)

yeah, im not going to update my SIG with the new numbers until i can get a dyno video made and get the dyno sheet from my dad. The last thing i want is someone saying BS w/ out anything to back me up. So for now im just going to stick with the 258 until then. Plus my power band might change a bit once i get that vulcan turbo intake manifold on there.

nice car dude, it actually looks like a pretty good sleeper if you think about it. to the average person it will just look like a base cobalt with a body kit and tons of exterior accessories. but it has the turbo to back it all up :D

i cant run the larger piping with the turbo in place of my muffler. if i go with larger exhaust piping it will cause more spool lag on the turbo. I have a picture that i snapped of the manifold here on the ship after the guys powder coated it red for me. Other then that, it will have to wait till i get back from deployment to see it on the car.

except that you can see the intercooler in the front, and in one of the pictures above you can see the charge pipping in the passanger side opening in the front bumper.
