Ecm???
so i know about our learn down feature but after the GM stage 1 kit i heard our ECM adapt to small power changes like CAI and Exhaust work? So that no tuning is needed and just learns whats needed? is this true?

True, I don't know if the learn down is fully disabled or just raised? But with a GM stage 1 and minor bolt ons you'll be ok.

learn down is disabled and it allows performance parts to improve the hp/tq of the car. you still SHOULD have a tune... im at 296 whp and 318wtq with gms1/cai/ic piping/catless/catback ONLY. no tune yet

people sometimes seem to get confused becasue of the way our cars are programmed with the airload tables...

stock Cobalt SS/TC + aftermarket parts = no real gain (peak wise)

GMS1 Cobalt SS/TC + aftermarket parts = gains to be seen
