How can GM do this
i thought '09 was the last year but i guess this is cool
i wonder what the hp is?
and the psi
the aftermarket world needs to step up and give our cars more parts already!!

all I really want to know is if the learn down is really off?
and I mean like if i put a manual boost controller and turned up the psi to 26 it would stay that way and not fight it.
if thats the case muwahahahahahaha, here comes edal anti-lag with extra goodies that I shouldn't say because GM might be spying

Oh and I wonder if they tinkered with the torque management tables for the stage kit...if not...you'll essentially have the Superchips tune when you get the stage kit.
Or the one that makes the tires go SPIN SPIN SPIN?

Nope...with the way the ECU works on the LNF...this "learn down," as you like to call it, will never be gone. Ask the HHR/Solstice/Sky guys that already have it or, better yet, ask Vince...If you read into how this ECU operates you will understand that there is no "Learn Down" switch that can be flicked on or off or any dumb crap like that...this whole car's power is based on air loads commanded by the ECU and unless you change that...your car will ALWAYS try to target them regardless of mods you strap on.

I also would like to know this. I will be roadracing it and absolutely loves how the power comes on in stock trim.

I know the quarter mile and HP rating won't be right.

^see what Im getting at here?
Correct?
It's like using a DynoJet or a Mustang dyno. As long as you are comparing before and after on the same dyno then you can actually show real gains.
example.
1 - (stock dynolicious power / stage 1 dynolicious power)* 100% = percent increase in power
(% increase in power / 100) * known tested stock horse power = stage 1 horse power number.
I mean if your dynolicious thing show 225hp and the stage kit shows 236hp, you see what im getting at? you can make slope with those two numbers. The only way you get a true reading is if that slope is equivalent to the slope of the actual power number and stage 1 power number. basically figure out the slope and apply it like a standard curve equation. Multiply the curve value to the known hp number our cars makes. that your new stage 1 power number.

OK, so it's not accurate, but it's precise. So if I can reproduce the results multiple times, then install stage 1 and see a positive change then you know Stage 1 added power.

I wouldnt trust the dynolicious readings for anything.
