Well just installed Intense Stage 3! (2.9, 42's) Had to take it to Intense to get a free case learn. Well anyways it is awesome! This thing really pulls now! Whole different car for sure. Also would like to add all the guys at Intense are very friendly and informative

Glad I live so close

 

very nice...anything done to the car like I/H/DP/E?

 

That poor 4th cylinder

 

Right on, good that you are close, did they tune it for you or did you get a generic tune? Just wondering.

 

Hopefully a tune cause there generics arent that good

 

Hope your tune doesnt ruin your motor!

 

stop hatin on intense

stupid people ruin their motors not intense they update their box tune all the time i bought a aeroforce and its running great

 

42's on a 2.9...yikes!

 

Whats your IDC around 5,000 rpms? My car fell off around there with a 2.9 (and GMS2 tune) for lack of fuel and had to upgrade to 60s. Other than that enjoy it!

 

good luck w/ it and, Hey Chris, first time seeing on here finally haha

 

lol thats is the most common set up for SS/SC's.

 

yea there is nothing wrong with a 2.9 and 42s

2.8 is when i would move to 60s

 

whats your idc on the 42s and the 2.9 at 5,000rpm? thats where mine went bad from 5,000 up.

 

good im glad u like it.

 

I stopped hating on Intense when they refunded me my money for a Stage 3 PCM i bought that made 4th gear knock like a door to door salesman...

and that was the whole time, not just half throttle, it was at WOT also...

 

im glad you like it, now get some cooling mods and see how much fun the car can be

 

i plan on it man!! what should i do first im thinking cobra he then a dual pass

yea they told me if i didnt like the box tune i could return it they are great guys!

well the tune is great

 

two things blow up cars bad drivers and bad tunes, this site lacks neither

 

lol dangit! whats your IDC above 5,000!

 

Glad to hear its all done. I have had my Intense 3 on for over a year now and havent had a problem with it.

 

Same here.

 

i have had the intense stage 4 kit with a 2.8" pulley on for almost 35,000 miles, and it's been hard miles. ( not as hard as the other cobalt has seen ) i have never had an issue with it running lean, knocking or anything else of the nature. hell, the fuel pump went out on car #2 a few weeks ago while it running oem injectors, but that could've been burnt up from beforehand.

i think their tune was setup for a car that is breathing easy. did the people (whoever specifically blames intense for burning bank 4) have an i/h/e ? maybe the cylinders were getting choked up and not expelling all the exhaust and the higher temps igniting the fuel is what caused the knock, and not just running lean. if that's the case, a h/e would fix the problem.

it's hard to reasonably blame intense for running lean on one cylinder. our fuel pumps are not running out of fuel with 60# injectors. i was running 72# for a short period and never seen a sign of lean with the plugs or on the wideband.

appearently no one wants to acknowledge your question

 

Thats a hard question to answer without sticking it on a Dyno to tune, unless there is some other way I dont know about?

Because I would be interested in seeing mine then too.

 

You dont nessicarily ( sp? lol ) have to stick it on a dyno to tune you can just run it once and monitor the a/f or if anyone happens to have a wideband of their own installed.
Im just interested to see since mine went lean with a 2.9 at 5,000 rpms what Intenses does.

 

not downing intense
but my friend had an intense tune and a lil while ago blew a cylinder i believe #4
haha poor poor cachstacker =(
some turn out good and some bad
