Car runs great... fast enough to pull on a couple c5 Z06's and 6.0 GTO's
Great guy and has always helped me out in a pinch
I'll be working with him to get a new tune for this season after a few small mods I have planned
Thanks again man for everything!

Cobalt guru, laid back guy, when i first bought the car it ran rough he fixed it free of charge though i do plan on paying him to "t00n" it up in the future, definitly has my business and earns the KC 08 covited cobalt tuning award

James - WereWolfSS (im pretty sure)
05 cobalt SS/SC
At the time i just had a 3 (tuned for a 2.8 i had waiting at the house i forgot), catback and 42.5s
It was just a basic tune, with a little bit a changes to run the 2.8 a little safer.
The only bad is that he was banned on this forum, then stopped tuning all together.
Im now stuck, and outta 100 bucks because i was trusting that i could go back to him if i needed.
Other than that, the car has ran fine!

your cars-SS/NA, SS/TC
your mods-SS/NA- CA V1 header, catted ZZP 2.5" DP, GMPP Touring, AEM CAI, #32 injectors
What a rock solid tune. I got better gas mileage and a lot more 'right here right now' response. Had the larger injectors put in by him because I am a monkey with a wrench sometimes, went smoothly. I made fun of waitresses at Hooters later on, we lol'd. Ate fried pickles.
SS/TC-Right now, Synapse catless DP, and a K&N drop in. When he first got his hands on LNF Cobalts, I got a file from him that recently put down 280/301 at TTP's Mustang dyno. Anyone who has driven a before and after tuned LNF will understand what I say when I say: ********
I have Hahn Charge piping, once it goes on he sent me an updated tune.
Real stand up guy who is willing to tell you what to do if you are new and wanna play a bit. Has a good taste in muzak too.

2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged a.k.a. Ralliartist
Mods:
air box mod
CXRacing Heat Exchanger
Cooling Mist water/meth Injection
42lb injectors
Custom Single pass Ported Intake manifold
Pacesetter header
custom 2.5" catless downpipe
Nate's 2.9" pulley
Custom Ice Box with Opt. B (Hatrickstu mod)
Area47 tune
2.5" cutout
The good: his tune was very spot on A/F, hardly any knock, I've had no issues with it.
The bad: wasn't really happy that he did the tune without a wideband, but we didn't have a choice since the wideband we had was broke. But he still gave me a great conservative tune that did help me achieve a new personal best at the track.
I reccomend Bryan tune any of you. He's the best of the best. I'm going back to him this spring for a new tune with my winter mods installed.

Bryan - 06Black
huge power made on two different power adders. a 3rd in progress.
always puts in the long hours needed to nail the tune down 100%, and always willing to help when work is needed.
just about the best there is....hands down.

lol! best on yet
06black/Brian sp?
2006 SS/SC
42's, 2.9, ZZP midlength combo 1.75" primaries to 3" collector and 3" to 2.5" dp, and air box mod.
The best part about Brain is that he is not in it for the money, he is in it for the fun of it. For the best experience let him do all the work including be the driver while tuning. The only bad part was that I had to drive from WI all the way to Detroit practically. Also one last thing, when you get tuned by him make sure you start at his house because he starts the hole driving process with excitement. (not in a gay way *******!)

06black/Bryan
2006 SS/SC Stage 1, GMPP sport exhaust, GMMP honed exh mani, airbox mod
I was very lucky to meet Bryan at the CED meet in 07' and he tuned my car on the spot, EXCELLENT tune has allowed me to (puts on flame suit) beat the few STAGE 2 cars (well I have) I have played with.
Seriously, car runs great, gets fantastic gas mileage and NO COMPLAINTS!!!
great guy who (as Tyler said) "he is in it for the fun of it". He seems enjoy making cars fast! He's on top of the heap in my book
oh and I got a ride in that beast he calls a Cobalt
