I'm thinking I should start a build thread. Guess this is it.

You mind expanding on this a bit? I once went for a dyno run on a loaded mustang dyno and the readings were weird for my setup. My torque peaked and died off way earlier than would be expected. We could have been a little off when we calibrated the dyno to engine rpm and I don't know if that by itself could have caused it or not. But you sound like you're familiar with dyno's reading funny so I wondered if you kind of knew what all could cause that to happen.

guys who use that dyno who own cobalts keep saying that they have a hard time getting a tach signal so it reads stupid low or something. Like guys who dyno 480 on one will dyno like 320 on that one. So idk I'll have to ask them and find out for sure. The other place finally emailed so I'll see if I dont go there instead

man got a good scare today. driving home and my car looses power and just shut off. oil light goes on...which freaked me out but didn't realize car had shut down. so I look under the car and I thought I saw dripping..checked oil level. nothing on there. called my dad to tow me home . looked under, nothing. no oil, no wet spot nothing at all. so I go to drain it, I was missing about a liter of oil, which id expect with this build and the 100+ hard pulls iv done already in the last 3 months. time to change oil anyway. so I put oil back in to do some tests until I can get new stuff. car would crank but no start. checked codes. fuel injector codes. cleared them....nothing. checked ground, nothing. pumped the gas and it fired for a sec then just cranked again. so I pulled the injector plug, pushed it in as hard as I could so it felt nice and snug, cleared codes again....now I had a fuel pressure code as well, and she started up. relief. guess the injector harness wasn't clicked in and slowly came loose. my trims and idle seem to be a lot better now as well.....will check some more after I do oil change.
