me and vince have been working on a tune all day, we finally got the idle fixed, but my injectors fuse keeps blowing, and it misfires and bogs bad at WOT and sometimes even just driving normal.

to fix it he told the ECM i have a smaller throttlebody so it opens more until he can find the base running airflow chart in the 2005

definately go for it, but you wont run long on stock valvetrain runnin over 7K rpms... it can do it but longevity of the elasticity of the springs at those rpms will get shot quick. definately build the valvetrain if you go that far (your investment is worth doing right)

if you bend a valve the rocker might get loose and float around under the valve cover, the lifter mite hit the cam n all kinds of other bad things... know from past experience

DO NOT get cams unless you upgrade your valvetrain. or keep your revs under 6000.

Did you get the adapter plate that C.E.D. designed for the 2.4 intake manifold swap?
It was originally made to restrict the amount of airflow into the TB so you wouldnt get a CEL
The first video clip of you car idling with your cams is sweet. Can't wait to put mine in

yes i did. just the cams need more air at low low rpms to run. but vince cant find the base running air flow tables to adjust it. he just thought of this idea to try and it worked. i went to jack n the box last night after the fix and one of the guys cam to the window was like " A CAMMED COBALT THAT IS SOME WICKED ****"!!!!

Keep in mind you can't rev much over 7k without removing your balance shafts though

Ok cool
Than my mods are very close to yours. Minus the Highflow cat
I guess vince will send me your exact tune then. Just got my car back today with the stage 1 cams.


Quick Reply: stage 2 comp cams and trifecta tune???!!
