Is anyone on this forum actually running the cobalt addiction stage kits? If so, how are they? Are they putting down the numbers they say they are, and are they worth the price? I don't want spectulation, just first hand expierience only....

 

im basically running a stage five kit except i don't have the ca heat exchanger, im still stock. Also I have a modified stock air box with a K&N air filter and a ca 2.5 catless dp. With a custom tune from bcp I made 280whp.

 

Not bad, anyone else?

 

Anyone else running the CA Kits?

 

TTT
So only one person is running a Cobalt Addiction Kit?

 

Dude, nothing against CA, cause they are a great vendor. But why don't you buy the parts and make your own kit. If you're near Toms River, Matt Hauffe @ Tune Time Performance has a mustang dyno and HPT to tune the hell out of it for you. It'll be much safer than running a "canned" tune. He knows his ****. PM him, ludacristss, is his name on here...

 

Adding more boost is the easy way out.

 

The only reason I'm asking is because my friend wants to get the Stage 6 kit...and he was planning on having it tuned by Matt, just wanted to know if the kit was any good....I don't own a Cobalt, but I am looking forward to Matt Tuning my WS6...

 

Im not running any kits from there right now but im going to soon. I have the GM stage II kit installed right now but i want more. I also have a CA intake that I custome made and soon to be installing a dual exhaust on it.

 

Let me know how that works out...

 

the kit is jsut like any other, its all parts they put together to make a kit, like me im doing my own kit, i think probabaly equvilant to the CA stage 3 or 4 kit, i got 60# injectors, 2.8 pulley, gm stage 2 belt, colder plugs, Dual pass, interceptor, injector harness, and going to get second H/E

 

no u didnt

 

I think the only differences your going to find with a "Stage Kit" compared to putting one together yourself is the price and the quality of the tune. I'm in no way saying that a CA tune isn't any good, but it would be much better if the customer were to go there and get dyno tuned so that the tune would be specific for his car since not all cars react the same way to a tune. So I think if your friend were to get the Stage 6 and then get TTP to tune it, he'd be in good shape, the parts are all fairly similar.

 

what are the tuning options for the car other than a full stand alone system.... and whats the warrenty issues for a full stand alone ecu

 

I"ll post the vid/
and I made 296 whp on full stage VI and my own dyno tuning.
