so last night i raced my friends 02 mustang gt with catless exhaust catback intake and headers and tunes. so he beat me but not like he was running away. he only put a fender one me all the way up to 120. my question for all you guys is what should be my first modd to the tc?

so far ive been thinkin dp to a ecut with the hahns intake and pipes with some meth what kinda times you think that would run?

 

1st... TUNE!

 

tuning is a option right not but i dont want to have to retune after getting all the goodies i plan on getting in a the upcoming weeks

 

Yep tune, If you are worried about warrenty wait for the GM stage tune. /thread

 

You got to tune, because if you put on any mods before tuning your car wont see any gains you have to tune first.

 

eh theres only 35k warrenty and the gm kit is one of the options as well but lookin at what they did wit the stock piping im kinda iffy on wat they come up with

 

Where in NY are you? I;m in Jerz and theres a Sick tuner in NJ that every1 go's to.

$400 for the 1st dyno tune and like $60 a pop after that for any retuning after you oput on mods. The #'s he got from stock SS/TC's was SICK!

 

i live in middletown ny and jersey is a breeze to get to lol...i got from here to philly one night threw jersey in a hour in a half lol. that doesnt seem back, but that one guys with the 400hp sc cobalt is movin like 20 mins away i just havent got to talk to him yet lol what kinda number we talkin about here?

 

did they beat hahns by chance? what numbers? (yea, i know hahn had an exhaust and maybe other boltons...just asking)

 

I got mine tuned at Nolimitmotorsports. They are on Long Island, Suffolk County. I have no mods except the tune. Results are 300.5whp and 338ft lbs. tq. The car was very fast stock but now it is unbelievable. They difference is extreme for just a tune. Get a tune and you'll mop the floor with your friend but run him from 2nd gear. 1st and 2nd go up in smoke if you put it to the floor.

 

Your friend must have gotten you off the launch and held ground til 120. I used to own an 01 GT with exhaust and intake, but it doesnt compare to my 08 SS/TC. Yeah the torque down low gets you off the line quick, but the older 2v's fall on their face IMO about 80-90mph. I also have an 05 Mustang GT with a few mods, and it doesnt fall on its face at all I dont think, and it beats my 08 SS/TC with ease from a dig and roll. If you want just some basic mods go ahead and get an intake and downpipe and then a tune.

 

ummm I donno the exact #'s.... but there a Vendor on here...


TuneTImePerformance.... Ask for matt. They have Cobalt Dyno days all the time. Great Guy Great shop.


Only place I'll ever take my cars to be messed with. Ask the guy in the Bergen County Cobalts thread.

 

Yep you are right. I used to own a full bolt on 99 GT and the TC is actually a little faster even stock. Get it tuned!!! It will seem like a conpletely different car. There is very little you will have to adjust after you buy all the bolt on mods probably richen the PE fueling a little and be on your way. My car made 307 whp on tune alone stock right down to the airfilter. I have an intake now and Hahn downpipe and a 3" catback on order. I will be getting the tune touched up after i install those parts. Traction will be an issue after you get tuned though. I cannot hookup on the stock contis at all in 1st. or 2nd at WOT.

 

I loved my 01 GT, but it was time for something new. I wanted to build it up, slap on a KB with some 315's out back, but wasnt looking to spend $4000+ just for 350whp or so. That and I have my 05 GT I wanna mod, so the SS/TC was right up my alley.
