I did read that but I also read what ZZP had said. Either way, I'm not here to have an argument about something I can't back up from my own experience and ACTUAL numbers proving it is better or not. I'm not saying your wrong. I honestly don't know if it helps or not.
Thank you very much. I don't think I am going to plug them. I just don't want potential problems in the future because of something I did to try and go faster.
Off topic but I am so disappointing that I can't find a Corsa Touring exhaust system anymore. Too bad they discontinued them 2 years ago. Your car sounds great. You should make some videos of your ZZP stage 1 cams install. I might go with that set as well but for now I am content with what I have and am doing. I'd be happy with 270 whp. Your car is by far one of my favorites on this site.

Yeah, the Corsa Touring is not made anymore (I don't know why). Keep a look out for a used one on here or E-bay. You may luck out.
I have some idle videos of my cams on FB. I just haven't had time to throw one up on you tube. When I do, look for it in my cam install thread, along with dyno results
Too bad the LSJ didn't meet emissions standards for 2008. Maybe we would have seen a factory 260 hp SS/SC rather than the SS/TC.

Zoomer had claimed loss of power and higher IAT's but as fast as he says that he disappears with no proof. So I'd take the manufacturer's word over someone who says they tested it with nothing to back it up.
You're not gonna see any huge change either way even plugging them. Just have a louder whine.

Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words.

You're correct they should have.

the only "safe" way I have heard to plug the holes is to weld in a plug. But you cant warp the rotor housing so you have to heat up the casing to prevent this. someone correct me if this is erroneous information. All in all not worth the hassle and risk. The m62 is already loud as f**k. TVS is too quiet

I am finally getting my head together and I am in the process of putting a 2.5" exhaust together because I'm not keeping this 3". Hopefully I get everything done this month and I will have videos and dyno sheets to show what it does. I don't care if I don't get massive power, I just want to be able to drive the car again.

Little bit of an update. I put my Supertech springs in, ARP's in, and cylinder head is now on the car with a fresh headgasket. I got the crank pulley bolt off but need to buy a harmonic balancer pulley puller. Timing shouldn't be that hard. Should have the majority of it done this week.

Tried with a screwdriver already. I guess I can try again. Timing shouldn't take long. I read that I have to tilt the engine to get the plate cover off. I will learn as I go.

Got the pulley off easily. I need to torque down the caps that hold the camshafts in place. I'm so close but yet so far.

that picture above looks like it is as yet un ported. I see the shiny machine marks for the laminovas, but all the edges still look cast.
I read somewhere 17 or 18mm's was as far as you want to go on the slots.

What I lose in torque I will make up for with the 2.7. Not like the supercharged Cobalt has a lot anyway. I might put in a set of ZZP S1 Comp cams in the future when I am better off financially.
