Booo, who cried? Cobalt owners are fun to **** with. I hope you know we are all laughing at you guys over on EF.com.
Something useful about my car? Racetronix W-body fuel pump, 63# injectors, TVS w/3.3" pulley at 15-16psi, 75%IDC, 11.5 AFRs, 16* advance, LS1 TB, Meatcake HPTuners custom tune, etc. Im starting to collect parts for a fully built L61. Oh, and it'll rape SS/SCs.

I seem to remember having a lot more wheel spin when I had a TVS...

fully built 2.2 or not, a 3.3 pulley on a TVS is hardly pumping any CFM. Your not even revving out high enough to take advantage of the pulley.

found out the engine was not balanced fully and eventually jus caused the piston to slap the sleeve on cylinder 3 i caught it early enough wher it only did damage to that sleeve...but its all good now bought new sleeve, and pistons and had it bored .20 over to get the waves out of the walls and sum other things done..now brian is going paint happy lol

understandable; it happens. what drives me insane is ppl swapping pistons around and wondering why it blows up a few thousand later... something that happened ALOT when this platform was still in it's early stages.
