Because the cars wheels were not sitting in the best spot on the dyno so there were some vibrations. And also I have Smoothing set to "0", I think you may be used to seeing graphs set to maximum smoothing. The vibrations from the wheels are evident in the graph.
Here is what I sent to Admins this morning about vendor status to try to get this thing rolling so I can start announcing my available products and services. Business names have been X'd out to protect confidentiallity.
"Dear Admins,
My business partners have been a little frusterated about this "Vendor Status". I have been trying to get a hold of someone, and so have they about getting Supporting Vendor Status for our company (www.xxxxxx-xxxxxx.com)
We have Cold Air Intakes for the SS/Tc that we are waiting to sell, but cannot advertise on your website. We also have a new process of tuning called Virtual Tuning where we can reprogram your car remotely through the internet. We are waiting to debut this, and were going to choose CobaltSS.net as the first place to announce this.
We are already supporting vendors over on xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com, and xxxxxxxxxxx.com. They were more than happy to accomodate us and we have a good relationship over there.
This process has been more than frustrating. I do not feel that supporting vendors will be offended that you offer me Supporting Vendor Status, as I am offering their product for sale as well. I believe in building a community with these vendors rather than a competition. I currently offer xxxx products and xxxxxxxxx is also producing some of my parts, I also sell xxxxxxx parts and xxxxxxx in producing my Solstice/Sky Intercoolers and Chargepipes, and xxxxx over at xxxxx is producing my Cold Air Intake for the Cobalt SS/Tc. As you can see I believe in strengthening the community by building professional relationships. If I was not so interested in making things work out I wouldn't be so diversified or accepted by these other vendors.
I have been in business for about 2 years now, and have made quite a name for myself. I have a degree in International Business Management, and worked for General Motors for a while as well. I don't know how much more qualified I have to be to get this going.
Thank you,
Steven Kenniff"

I have messaged many mods, all say they will pass it along. I send emails every few days directly to the admin too. I have REALLY been trying hard to get noticed here. I need their help to be able to open up and say :"Here it is for $xx come and get it"

Wasn't over the top a new company when they got vendor status? sounds like somebody is playin favorites. I think you've more than proven you are trustworthy to the community here. Good luck man.
EDIT: pm us all your website. We can put it in our signatures.

A lot of my friends still own cobalts. I also still enjoy them just as much as my own cars. I just felt like I reached the potential in my SS/SC and got rid of it for a GTO, then got rid of that for a GT. I hope I can just keep my mind on my GT long enough to pay it off or get equitable enough to trade it in for a 2011 Twin Turbo V6 later on.

O well, the CSRT4 is a better all around car than both my SS/SC and my 01 cobra, so I guess it worked out for the best.

Eventually I'm probably just going to drive to Arizona to have steve tune me. I'd love to check out the intakes and get the info on them. If I knew where he was located I might stop by and check it out when I drive through Arizona tonight and friday. Going to Texas to pick up a friend, road trip! But We arent taking my car or I'd probably do something stupid and spend too much money on an intake and a tune while I was there lol.

Yeah, but it's not cheap at all. I wish it was, but the software licensing is crazy because it's not through HPTuners.
same here. Traded my SS/SC for an 01 Cobra. Was going to run a 100 shot, 3.73 gears, and full bolt ons before it got rear ended and totalled. I loved that car, and miss it still.

they really turn it up a notch. If u could, use 3.73 or 3.5 ( I think they have a 3.5? ) gears instead. Lots of people are disappointed with the top speed and shitty gas milage of the 4.10's.

4.1's are fine for n/a and centri blowers, but steve if you are getting that tt kit i would go with 3.73's unless you are going with a taller tire...4.1's with that tt setup are gonna put you through 1-2 and 3 so fast you wont know what to do with yourself.
