More info points to LNF Turbo sizing issue.
http://tunersource.gmblogs.com/blog/...ting-into-2008
In race tune, the Solstice GXP is going to make 330 horses, yet 425 pound/feet. This screams of the turbo being sized for optimum throttle response and little else.
So, who all makes oversized dual-scroll turbos for this thing...?.(with ceramic ball bearings)

"We made a couple changes in the engine calibration, removed the catalytic converter, and installed a free-flowing 3-inch exhaust. While we may not pass government emissions testing, or meet the longevity requirements for the GM Powertrain warranty, we were able to get 330 horsepower and 425 ft-lbs of torque (those ECOtecs are torque-monsters!) from the production engine. "
WOW!
WOW!

no stage kits for the cobalt, maxed out tranny, a complete bitch to tune. it will be great in stock form, and that's about it.f35 tranny in the new cobalt. rated for a max torque of 258, comes with 260 from the factory. i have a serious feeling this car is not going to be upgraded without some serious work first.

i hope i am. as of now everything i'm finding doesn't look to promising, but i hope i'm looking in the wrong places and am totally proven wrong. this car looks like a HUGE step forward for gm's sport compact car, as long as it's upgradeable. but all the things i'm finding are seeming to prove otherwise at this point.
i'm being serious now, what do you think will be possible with this car, and tell me where i'm wrong. maxed out tranny from the factory, yea it's probably conservative #'s, but still what do you do about that to hold more power? the direct injection seems like it's an asbolute bitch to tune, and many guys are still having problems tuning the lnf. shitloads of gm reps, and gm higher ups are saying that not stage kits will be released. granted, they've been known to be wrong before, and i'm sure eventually aftermarket companies will step up.
i really hope this car will live up to the hype, i think it would kick ass if it did. i'm just not hearing anything promising as far as upgrading at this point.
