seriously i dont know why im posting this...

Uckkkk. $500 for a tuned ecm, and you're car has to be down for 2 weeks while it is getting tuned.

I'm pretty sure everyone is just gonna wait for HPT.

Really, they don't need to read every single post of every single LNF thread do they?

Me thinks somepeople are jealous.

I am some what interested but unless they do some major revisions to the power train its just not worth it because your going to shell out for aftermarket parts in the end anyway.

I heard from a guy who knows this guy, who knows this guy, that works for GM performance parts developments that they are going to have blow-off valve kits for the LNF. They will be using a HKS SSQ blow off valve which will also be included with the stage 2 lnf kit.

It is a bypass valve that doesn't vent to the atmosphere it vents to the intake so you don't really hear it.

Well why doesn't everyone just go out and buy a base 2.2L cobalt and swap out the block for the 1.6L GM race block, and then just strap on two GT45 turbos?

I would assume that most people want a little more power, be faster than a S2 ss/sc, and still keep the warranty. Not to mention the car will only be offered for 1.5 years, it will be more rare than the LSJ balt.

Can you LNF haters just STFU!?!?!?!

Actually my friends GXP, I can hear it loud and clear.

What 1.6L race block?

from GM: 1.6L turbocharged engine for the Opel/Chevrolet/Vauxhall Astra and Opel Vauxhall Meriva. In the Opel Astra, this engine (132 kW/180 hp) replaces a 2.0L turbo (125 kW/170 hp) and improves fuel consumption and reduces C02 emissions by 14 percent.

I really think the TC cobalt will be not alot different. The car is rated at 260hp not whp. It will dyno around 220/230tq I will drive one but i will keep my SC if you guys want faster go build something for potential I bought the car not for a race car but somethng with nice power and to get to point A to point B. Geez its so stupid for everyone to be popping TC chubs just for a BOV thats so dumb.

Just to give you a heads up I have read the whole thread and there is not one instance where anyone said that their supercharger is better than the new turbo coming out. STOP STARTING ****.

I think your guy needs to check his guy and make sure he's not on crack. Cause he's pulling your leg with wrong info.

ok no guy here except Tom at CED, the Solstice and Sky will have a stg 2 290hp kit
in 4-6 mos so its easy to think that a 280-290 stg 2 CSS-T kit will be released afterwards!
