exactly! just because i am not running a small enough pulley to need the full effect of 60s that doesnt mean it still isnt better to have 60s for tuning reasons. i dont know anything about it myself really but the guy that tunes my car told me to get the 60s even if i didnt plan on modding anymore then i am now. i am interested in water/meth injection but i cant get him to warm to the subject, he calls them a bandaid for a bad tune

269/252 in sae.
it was 62 degree's on the dyno that night.
anom. the mixture coems out to be around 103-105 octane. i don't mix it exactly to the oz, so it's just a guess.

the only reason why i run it that high is when im on the dyno, or in a close race with someone. normally, i shift right at 7.
who told you it makes power at redline?

so i guess a 40 degree drop in temps after the blower is part of a bad tune bandaid idea.

even the best tuner cant cool down super hot iat2s alone
this is where the water injection or watermeth come into play.
they also come with added benefits, other than just cooling.
nice numbers area.

I recall a guy talking about his dyno numbers about a week ago saying he made like 255hp at 7300rpms with stock cam. And I told him that the dyno had to be calculating RPMs improperly because there is no way. Even with nitrous you cannot exceed the powerband of your cam. It controls too much. And our cams pull till 6700, science!

nothing spectacular here guys,
nice tuning area, whats the EGT's @ (sorry if i missed it)
As i read the 1st post im like he has to be on water inj or this isnt possible, then i read down a few posts, yup.
sounds like a nice setup you got

METH can be used to cool the air regardless of whether you are tuned for it or not, allowing you to pull longer than normal. But tuning for it requires experience, and YOU as the driver to be more than intelligent. There is no way of knowing you are out of METH either, since there is no warning light. Another scary thought.

I still have a doubt that people blow their LSJ caused by the 11.xxishh AFR only. I suspect those tiny exhaust ports, can you say high heat. I still remind the GMPP 300+HP build book that states the ported head is necessary to get the heat away, and also I still remind having read somewhere the stock head is efficient up to only 275 HP.

Ok I might have to throw out a BS here. Here is a conversation I had with Area47 on 10/11 on RLF. He seemed pretty adamant about not putting 42’s in his car.
No wonder he won’t offer anyone the tune….
We were talking about the tb out of Trailblazer, Envoy, etc.

it is not a slap on an go kind of mod. you will have to do some tweeking here and there with it. be prepared for it.
this is with the ls4 tb.
BTW, there are tb spacers on the market you can buy for these. i'll post a list later for them.

I know Rebel is talking about putting out some dyno numbers on this upgrade on a stage 2 cobalt. I applaud them for their efforts in bringing aftermarket products to the LSJ but if I held my breath every time they said they were going to do something I wouldn't be here right now!

as long as you don't beat on the car to bad you don't have to worry about the afr to much i ran 12.5 for the longest time on my 2.5 pullied setup without one hicup. The reason why your car blew was becuase of the heat from all the back to back to back runs and how you drove your car
