I recently installed the Intense Stage 5 kit on my car. When the dealer was doing the crank relearn the tech screwed up and reflashed the PCM back to stock Luckily 06Blackg85ss helped me out.

I had HPTuners from previously tuning my Cavalier S/C and no Turboed but did not have the time to learn how to tune the Cobalt in a few hours. The car barely ran and was PIG rich. After about 15 minutes after getting a tune the car runs absolutely perfect. No idle surging, no hesitation, no CEL's. The car feels absolutely stock, and maybe even slighty smoother. Once I get on the car though it's nasty, tears the tires up in 1st and 2nd at pretty much any speed. I'm very imnpressed with what the Stage 5 and 06Blackg85ss were able to do to a previously stock Cobalt. Thanks a ton for the help man! I highly recommend him, great guy and awesome service

 

So he retuned your car or just reflashed stage 5 on your car? Cause intense tunes suck ass.

KATE

 

bump to get the word out

pretty sure he sent him a tune , not intenses

 

i wish he lived near me .. damn you new yorkers

 

haha.. thanks man.. but yeah completely new tune... have a couple of different setup's for different applications if anyone is interested...

 

INTENSE=****!! What a waste of money!

 

You know i'm 2nd on the list Paul. I'm ready when you are my friend. Cash in hand. Oh and some beer.

 

well got my own laptop now and my own cable and software... anytime man.. I"ll be free at some point this weekend... just let me know

 

Yo paul, i'm running 21 degrees of timing!!!!! on 100 of course. Still have to use the boost bypass mod though since I have no idea why my car doesnt boost without it. If you ever want to look at it to see if it's ok (because i've tweaked some things since you tuned it) just let me know.

But get this, it's only slightly faster than a gm stage 2 car with intake and catback...

 

hmm... I'm trying to setup a track date with some people.. I"ll let you know when I get it together if you want to meet up over there... also if you want I can send you the new tune I got going in my car.... beastin.. but not running that much timing anymore since I took the meth injection out. (no problems, just tearing the whole car apart in 2 weeks or so to go turbo on a built motor)

 

Oh snap this weekend would be sweet. I'm going to PM you.

 

Yes, Paul tuned my car from scratch not the Intense Tune. I've been very pleased with the results thus far, not only that but he also is dedicated to getting me the best tune I can. I'm sending him some log files tonight and we can continue to tweak from there.

I can't express enough thanks to him. The Cobalt is my daily driver so I had to have the car up and running within a day. Like I said before I've got HPTuners and am fairly familiar with it, but I didn't have any time to learn how to tune the Cobalt. I plan to work with him to get me the best tune I can, then this summer I'll most likely play around with a few things myself.

Thanks again man!

 

Could you re-tune my car to use a larger throttle body?

 

The Intense tune stage 5 = 11* of knock on my car, and that was only up to 6500rpms! Imagine 7k!

 

Intense stage 5 is intended for 93-94 octane. Thats why you got so much knock.

 

2 octane points won't cover the 11* of knock!

 

Paul FTW! Yo man, you've gotta open up your own tuning business man. You can help me tune like a pro and I can come and work for ya, how does that sound? We'll tune anything from saab's to the new z06's lol

 

Paul deff knows his ****, I was actually asking him the other day if there was anything he didnt know about cobalts. lol.

 

actually I am... just getting the word out

 

Can you tune my 2.4? I pay BIG money!!

 

I don't see why not... I"ve been waiting for someone to come forward with one to tune... just have to unlock more credits.. so give me notice if you want to do it

 

Paul i'm only a few hours from NYC and usually go there to visit friends a couple times a summer, we should definately meet up this season man.

 

let me know... I"m usually out at all the L.I. car shows in the summer...
plenty to do.. also got some track days up for planning... the more balts the better.

 

Good talking to you Paul. I'll call you tomorrow and see you Sunday. WOT!

 

yeah man... get that thing up and running the way it should..
