300whp+ near stock
As many of you know I had a PTE 5457rb swap on my car. once I got it off I did some more testing with the stock parts. These pulls were with all stock exhaust, stock intake w/stock filter, stock intercooler pipping, stock clutch. the only mods are Dejon intercooler and clamps.
I will post updated numbers once my downpipe, intake and intercooler pipping elbow come in. anyway here they are.
305whp and 382wtq
311.77whp and 380.77wtq

All tuning is done by me. I wish I could give a lot of info out but there are people on this forum that will take my info and use it for personal profit. But all it takes is the parts listed and a "tuner" that knows an lnf.... more numbers coming soon!

I think what the LNF community needs is someone to help guide them in the cam timing arena. Spark and fuel are cake with this car. But, some direction with cam timing would be helpful. Then, the rest of the world would learn to fear TC 'balts because the 300wwhp cars would be a dime a dozen.

IMO, the benefit of sharing knowledge and making it common is that it gives less opportunity for others to profit off of it. If it's valueable, then yes...they can charge and arm and a leg for a top-shelf tune. But, if everyone's doing it - the knowledge is common place and for the greater good. Hence why I shared so much detail tuning LS1's over on LS1tech and EFI Live. Anyone with some common sense can dial in an AFR at WOT and play with timing to make great power. Making a head/cam car street-able on the other hand, a LOT more time, effort, and work invested.

^^ I agree with the statement. Unless he is marketing the tune himself to sell it, then the nice thing to do would be to share it with the rest of the community....and he would become a truly respected individual among the cobalt community in the process.
It may also be possible that he wants to be on top for a while and proclaim his car the highest HP stock turbo setup or something along those lines. It is his tune and he may do as he wishes.
But remember that nobody stays on top forever....somebody is going to figure it out or possibly come up with something better....I am willing to bet sooner rather then later with the way people are tuning these cars.

I do have a shop that I plan on marketing soon. but I would rather have a bunch of fast lnf's/lsj's than just a couple. My tunes are for sale but I don't market them. I let the results do the talking!!!
anyone with questions feel free to ask!!!

Well nice tuning boostking 
, I'd keep it for myself too, lol. I think most of the LNF tuners who know their stuff can hit these numbers fairly easily but they don't because the stock clutch just can't hold it over time, even if driven properly. I thought I remembered reading that Trifecta limits the amount of torque they push for to the 330-350ish region so as not to beat up on the stock clutch so much.

I did yesterday... http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showth...808#post165808 
Truth is, I played with cam timing a little. I think my butt dyno showed some improvement down low, but it felt like it fell on it's face at about 5,500rpm. I can't tell for sure whether or not I was making progress. I need to find a real dyno around here to mess around with it a little. Dyno time is expensive though & playing guessing games on dyno time while fighting potential heat soak isn't going to make my wallet happy. If you have some time (5~10 minutes) to give me some directional advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, that's cool too. I know it's hard dealing with all of the requests for help as I get them all of the time in the LS1 world...even still.
