question about our motor
I here up before fast and furious when 5.9's pulled the road. I even had a blown h/c and 6psi charged GT. THEN LATER I.GOT A talon 97 TSI less HP and tq than the cobalt TC but why did that car keep pulling hard deep into the redline while the cobalt being over 6K fall on its face. I love the torque but miss that pull all the way deep into the8k plus redline zone. Being a body and paint guy and more on V8 motors I wanted a mechanical opinion

Sorry 5.0 didn't spell check. I have done a pull in 2nd and third just like that longer powerband when your up in the triple digits. I traded some low end for alot more on top for the long backroads and late nite highway runs. My V8 doesn't peak till 6600 or so. Goptta finish the tune. Just like the low end outta the Cobalt but a few extra rpm especially if I take it to the track, less shifting and mean a 1/th ot mor thats why my TA is setup ti stay on 3rd and not use 4th in the 1/4.

Says in your sig you don't have GMS1 yet. I just upgraded a few weeks ago and I love it, 60lbs more tq you definitly notice. Once off warranty custom tune and bolt on's. Your set for a good daily driver.
