As the title goes...stock car. How much will it give me, how much $ and will it cause any problems?

 

I dont *think* there is a whole hell of alot to be had from a SS/SC tune without any other mods, but I could be wrong.

 

pretty sure some guy in so cal got like 15-20whp on a tune from steve as his only mod. and trifecta claims 17whp. they only cost $285
but get ottp stage 1 only 400 for about 40whp

 

usually can squeeze 10-15whp out of a tune. depends on mods and how good / agressive your tuner is

 

might be those. but you could get in general a better daily driver and mabe better fuel efficiency?

 

pm Fred, smgautosports, he did one for $275 and included dyno time and credits

 

ahh good idea, thanks everyone!

 

usually 10-20 hp depending on the tuner!

 

not enough to be worth it imo. i was talking with bryan and angelo when i was stock. and they both said they'ld be able to get 15-20whp out of it. but since i was going to be modding the car it would just be money out the window

 

see im skeptical to mod the car cause I dont want any problems. Its a daily driver and I really dont wanna deal with anything like that

 

then just get like a 3.0" and 42s an have it tuned. its like an extra $250 and it will make the tune worth it. and you won't have to worry about anything else

 

ok ya Im stock so that=me newb to engine lingo haha. Im gonna guess 3" =exhaust? and 42's umm injectors or pulley? hahahaha i dunno

 

look into comp cams as well hot rod mag did a write up and some dyno runs with some bolt-on part and the cams add 36 hp

 

yeah don't listen to that guy ^^^

3" pulley and 42lb/hr injectors

 

i have the write up on it! better yet ill try to find it

 

lol Ill talk to the guy around here that does alot of work on Cobalts. I mean Id like to have some extra kick, I dont race or anything but just for fun but like I said just dont want **** to start breaking. Thanks for the info!

 

yeah ill have my 3" pulley and 42s for sale soon, when your down at the shop talk to fred, and if you work something out ill sell em cheap

 

Sounds good if I end up doing anything!

 

well yeah, figure out what you want to do first, dont waste money, give fred a call and youll get a better understanding of what your long term goals are

 

Ya definitely guy seems to know his **** big time
