Guess i just was to proud I'm still in need of a good DP.. I just hope this tune comes out soon so i can get my nice power curves. I just dont know why the hp/tq "curves" looked like a heart monitor.. VVT Maybe? That and it running lean as shitt

Heres their site, very knowledgeable shop.. and he's got a sick balt for sale
if hptuners doesn't work how can this person tell you your tune is shitty..??
what does 'lean as ****?' mean?
they numbers looked bad because he didn't hook the car up right....plain and simple.

Sad really.

A lot of good info and people on here and a few asshats wanna fight and pretend their right about everything till their blue in the face.

I'm really surprised at how I get infraction points when I make fun of people who are dead wrong yet insist their right and convince people to the point where they'll screw their cars up or hurt themselves yet all I do is hurt some dumb ass's feelings that really needs a good beating anyway and I get told I'm out of line. lol.

Just funny to me.

Ain't that true, God damn you people need to learn to get a long and just help one another. Xtortedcobalt originally started this post only to get a few answers, not get harassed for not knowing something.
... it wasn't unnecessary?

seriously? he came in looking for answers then got an attitude with everyone who gave him one.. called one of the most knowledgeable members on the site a *****... and insisted everyone else is wrong..

I could care less about my grammar or spelling I'm not an English major nor was i ever good with grammar...

my first post i also posted about his issue with the dyno sand some useful info..

i said something useful. more then we can say about other posts in here..

at least things i've posted slightly pertained to the topic.. coming in and basing someones grammar and such doesn't do anything at all

not to mention the fact that i actually said he's done alot of things in a little time and that was impressive.. riiighhht so

anyway i'm done with posting in this thread..

WHAT? The GMPP intake primarily pulls in cold air from underneath, not from the top.

It is a visual intake as well, so you can see the filter, the seal around the top of the box is to keep engine compartment air from getting to the filter. It seals the box to the hood of the car.

There was NO horsepower OR torque curve, Just a bunch of squigly lines.. lol looked like ****. And i was told that my car is running very lean with the header/catback/intake. Sucks ass.. So now i've got to wait untill hptuners will cover my car.. any other suggestions?
Don't forget the Jet Chip module -- they make it for the 08 2.4L -- PN 10708 get it from JEGS for $239 + shipping. Yea, Yea tuning is the best -- but this module works and can be removed anytime you need to and you can put it back on when you want.

Exclamation

Hey guys, really i'm getting a good laugh out of things, nice people are lightening up. I apologized, i just didn't expect to get attitude from a ? so i got one back, My fault. As far as somebody saying i lost the most knowledgable members info.. well i believe a lot of people on here know what they're talking about, there are a lot of great ppl on here, and they're not even cocky There is really only so much to do to a 2.4 Maybe a hahn kit, or nitrous But listen, i'll go back maybe this week / next week and see if he can't print me the chart just so i can show you. Maybe he did have error? Idk. Either way, you guys are talking about other tunes? I think this guy is the only guy even AROUND me that does these kind of things, next is albany which is pretty damn far away. Maybe jet is the answer for now, and i like that it can be removed... warranty..cough cough lol
have a good one.. oh..

BTW food for thought. Know what the biggest difference between a 2.2 cobalt injector and a rousch mustang?.. Spray patterns, At work i make injectors... any ? u may ask

lol. Well, a lot of these higher priced injectors people buy are in-alike; the same injector either with a different director (which has spray holes, 1,2,4,5 etc) Size (length) depending on application.. and what kind of orings it uses on the outside to seal it in.. Injectors cost us.. eh.. 6 bucks to make i believe but they can sell for a ridicolous amount of money i'm seeing lol
