how? lol. if someone in a completely stock cobalt beats it way harder than someone with a tune then its bound to give out at one point. Unless you believe that these cars are perfect right out of the factory and will not have any mechanical issues whatsoever lol. engines give. the only thing you can do about it is take care of them. owner obviously did not and his engine couldnt take it anymore

Why do Honda kids blow so many engines? Keeping high revs and being stupid. How do kids break **** and blow engines up? Treating the thing they are using bad. It's fact of life...

so basically if you drive your car to hard on an aggressive tune and it goes boom its the owner's fault. thats what im getting out of this so far.


also, that essentially means if one were to decide to do a road course (beats the **** out of your car, anyone who road races knows) the car would probably not make it since it will be in WOT most of the time and taking a lot of abuse vs a freeway pull.

Yes, that's why I stick to only GMS1 because its the only tune I trust when I run on Road America. Unless you are running a really conservative aftermarket tune, I would be sereiously concerned about popping the motor. You're basically WOT for 20 minutes at a crack. After the first time on the track with my TurboXS downpipe, I was under the car changing the oil and noticed that one track event colored the downpipe bright blue all the way down to about the start of the cat. That's how much heat is generated when you stand on the throttle for a mile, take 2 turns, and stand on the throttle for another mile.

A 10 second highway roll is much much easier on the engine than spending 20 minutes road racing.

i agree with this....
i beat the crap out my car when it was stock and when it was tuned..... i am not a young kid.... i am just honest when i say i beat the crap out my car..... guess what.... i have over 150 000 km with 2 diff cars now..... no major issues... i am sorry man i think personally a tuner can set up a car to be aggressively safe.... thats when exp, knowledge, and accountability comes into play when we talk about tuners.... before any harsh responses come my way from tuners.... please remember i am a customer...... i am always taking notes on who is producing desirable results...... i am also in the market for a better tune....

You make tunes according to your driving. I've made tunes for people who do circuit, drag and etc. the point here is the kid asked for a aggressive boost file. He treated the car horribly always wot and getting wrong fuel.. I made the file for what the kid asked ... Plain and simple

I dont use base gas cause I know it dont play well with my tune....when I drove through new mexico they had 90 oct at best...i had no choice but to put it in but I tell you what i wasnt romping on my car as I drove through there. Its common sense. No car is in invincible....an aggressive tune put in the right situation WILL eff your car up.

Knowing he was always gonna be wot and getting bad gas?
+1 for you


You make tunes for their driving? So you made a tune that was good for always being wot and would hold on bad gas? But yet he blew because he bought bad gas
+1 for you once again


& you just contradicted the **** out of yourself, so I'll give you another point
+1, yet again

Did I say I make tuned for 100% throttle ever part of the day? No I didn't kid. I stated I make tunes depending on the drivers wants. So if they want a track file, I have them go to the track and log, if they want a street file we so the street. Apparently you like putting words in my mouth. I know you like other things in your mouth like cack, and deer *****. But hey it's what you like right. You apparently took it the wrong way from what I posted.



I made the file for what the kid wanted "asked for". If he gets incorrect fuel and romps on it 24/7 not my fault. So if you could read which I'm sure you can because you can clearly talk **** you'll notice things previously stated I his tune. So please keep talking **** kid .

It's what your good at. Putting words in other people's mouth. Kind of like a liar, someone who is untrustworthy. My point isn't to make you cry, my point is your a troll.

Like I've said before, if you want ppl to take you seriously, post seriously. Wether it was the tune or not, you're sure not helping your reputation any.
And since when did bad gas come into play? He would have had to run 87 every day to do that kind of damage.
Don't change your story now.

Never changed my story. Read on ... I can care less what people think of me. People talk **** to me I won't stand down and be a bitch. Woopdy do I said ****, **** , damn. I'm not a vendor nor do I want to be.

So if I tune a guy on 93 and give him 15* and blah blah blah. He puts in shitty type fuel. It'll take months to blow? When in fact the lnf doesn't have a low octane table to go to. No I'm sorry it will last as long as the owner lets it. Treating a car like **** and being stupid isn't smart.
