has anyone dynoed an 09 ss/tc

I just called my dealer and he said his computer only updates once a month and that he will be updating on Wednesday morning and to call him back, he may be able to give a price if it is in the new parts update.

I'm sure glad I waited for GM at 315 HP - no ther tunes are doing much better and I get to keep my full warranty...

The Cobalt kit will be 315 hp @ 4800 rpm [+55] = GM Part number 19212670.
The kit for 290 hp @ 5200 rpm [+30] is for the HHR with an automatic transmission.

"The Californa Air Resources Board (CARB) published a CARB cert for this tune today. It was executed on Aug 22nd. This means that this tune will be 50 state legal, does in fact exist, and is probably close to release.

From the cert:

"The LNF Turbocharged Ecotec Upgrade Kit includes a calibration update, two mass air flow/intake air temperature sensors (TMAP sensors) to replace the stock manifold absolute pressure sensor and the TMAP sensor, and installation hardware."

The hardware part number is 12626990.

The calibration part numbers are:

2007 auto trans : 12625958
2007 manual trans : 12625959
2008 auto trans without electronic vacuum pump for brake assist : 12625952
2008 manual trans without electronic vacuum pump for brake assist : 12625954
2008 auto trans with electronic vacuum pump for brake assist : 12625951
2008 manual trans with electronic vacuum pump for brake assist : 12625953

2008 chevy hhr auto trans : 12625956
2008 chevy hhr manual trans : 12625957
2008 chevy cobalt manual trans : 12625955

I was able to speak with a GMPD employee through my dealer today and they confrmed that GM Part number 19212670 is in fact the Stage 1 upgrade for the 2008 Cobalt SS. They said the kit includes all the sensors, parts, and calibration #'s above as well. The bad news is they said despite that fact the kit was ready he didn't think they would start selling it until spring. He also said that there were more kits in the works but had not been finalized or sent through CARB as of yet... I am personally stoked about 315 hp and keeping my warranty, if I have to wait for spring I will...

ChevySKIDOO 10-01-2008 07:45 PM

great update looking forward to it in the spring!

orbalt08 10-01-2008 08:00 PM

This is great news to hear/see

G85 SS 10-01-2008 08:05 PM

I just want to know if the Turbo could be swapped for something different.. IE 50 trim, 60 trim etc.

turboeco 10-01-2008 09:22 PM

This seals the deal! I was hesitant about getting out of my SC, but now I really feel it's the right choice. 315hp with warranty, can't beat it.

Thank You GM!!!

08BlackSS/TC 10-01-2008 10:34 PM

subscribed...would like the recal, those sensors and warranty with 315hp even though I'll have a GT3076R by that time :D

Sweet I cant wait!:guns:

BPark86 10-02-2008 12:56 AM

I saw this on a Solstice forum

Latest issue of GM High-tech Performance magazine has a short interview with Tony Roma, Senior Engineering Group Manager, Integration and Advanced Concepts, in the High Performance Vehicle Operations (HPVO), one arm of the GM Performance Division.

Mag: What other performance projects are in the works for you?
Tony: Some of the things we've already introduced are the supercharged Cobalt stage kits. We're working on induction and exhaust systems for various vehicles. All the things you need to bolt a crate engine into a car and also a stage kit for the LNF Cobalt and HHR.

I know he didn't say Solstice/Sky, but at least they are working with the engine.


So for those who are still skeptics...

MARIN007 10-02-2008 01:45 AM

Tee hee, can't wait.

They will make that a stage 3 kit like the SS/SC label as the "Off Road Kit" aka No Warranty coverage.:bye:

Gyrocon 10-02-2008 05:38 PM

I am stoked about this!!! that kit better be available in Canada, or I'll be taking a little drive south O' the boarder!!

JPizzle 10-02-2008 05:39 PM

This sounds like it will be sweet! I can't wait to hear some more information from it & see what it really gives the car!

ta2ooedmike 10-03-2008 08:00 PM

this is so efn sweet...315hp and warranty is maintained!!!!.........

hopefully sooner than spring!....

SS4EVER 10-03-2008 08:03 PM

I'm a little late to the party. Ok so 315hp instead of 290hp vs the auto in the HHR SS is good to know. We get any info on torque #'s? Or any good guesses?

Sorry, no torque numbers, but 315 hp is enough to get me stoked...

MARIN007 10-03-2008 10:49 PM

The torque will be pleasant, don't you worry.

musifreak190 10-04-2008 02:21 AM

would this kit fix the turbo lag like the aftermarket tunes have been???

rocketpunch1221 10-04-2008 02:22 AM

+55 with stock exhaust, so 320+ with exhaust...not bad for S1. I would like to know how that is going to affect MPG.

Not at all.

Stay out of boost, and economy is the same.

Hmmm.

I wonder if this 'Stage one' will be locked.

What do you mean by "locked"? I hope its not what i think...

I'm hoping maybe 340-350 would be nice. I'll be looking into either this or the GM Roadster Club ECM Stage 1 tune...

Yeah, probably hardly...

Meaning will the source code be open for further tuning/customization.... Yeah that I have no idea.

The GM Roadster Club ECM Stage 1 says 310hp & 340ft lbs of torque. Also if you list what mods you have they said they will tune accordingly... I'm cool with the guy from one of the other forums...

But it's either going to be that or this for me when I get my SS/TC next summer...

recklessnova 10-04-2008 05:06 PM
