My check-in
Just got 2010 black cobalt ss. Decided to join the forum after looking around on the net for few modifications to do with my car(which always ended me up here).

Tune should be on top of your list.

trifecta is a decent tune, i like the selectable tunes, but hp tuners will give you more power and a better quality tune (depending on the tuner obviously), plain and simple welcome to the forum


**EDIT: P.S. ANY MODIFICATION WILL NOT GAIN YOU ANY PEAK HP OR TQ UNLESS YOU ARE TUNED**

Because no one has time to wait a month for a tune. There are many other reasons but I am biased.

I disagree with the hp per dollar being better with trifecta. You get what you pay for.

GMS1 isn't too bad, and the plus side to that is that if your car has that then you also have the upgraded sensor that comes with it.... which i still need lol

Tune on top of the 3 bar MAPs is even better. GMS1 makes around 270whp on 93. A good tune can make 315-325 whp on 93.

Do not change your intake without a tune. Also a catless DP is almost pointless without a proper tune so other than a better IC to keep IATs down and upper charge pipe (lower charge pipe is not worth changing unless you blow yours which I doubt will ever happen) leave the rest stock unless you want to custom tune it.
