Dynoed the cobalt today N/A

Did some pulls before the tune to see where I stand mods include

Cai, header/dp, exhaust, flywheel, velocity stack (no filter), tb

Best pull was 178whp 175lb with NO TUNE !!

I'm guessing that was just a part throttle roll into the correct speed since its a short rpm range

disappointed with the results of the tune. The guy didnt have much experience with cobalts but the car definitely feels consistent everyday.. looking to get another tune soon hopefully

Looks like it still has that nasty stock torque dip at 4,800 RPM but I can't see the RPMs at the bottom of the sheet to tell you for sure.

Almost looks like they let off a bit and then hit it, but the consistency for the runs says its in the tune which is a bummer

I would just find a SC or something instead of sinking more money into this. Gonna cost way too much to actually make power.

Also the graph looks weird cause some dyno's have trouble picking up a proper tach signal from our cars. Last dyno day I went to the only cars having issues getting readings were Cobalts.

With all the typical bolt-ons, no tune was 148whp and tuned was 163whp both with an unlocked torque converter. My tune was aggressive though and I had access to better fuel. Now I'm 4000ft altitude and with half ethanol I barely eke out 165hp with the converter locked. 155hp unlocked. It sucks.
