Folks, I owe everyone a sincere apology. The previous post was not intended to flame or criticize anyone. Please, let me clarify....
I've been following this thread from the beginning with interest. Maybe the word "fiasco" was the wrong choice without explaining what I meant.
For Colt Cams, who developed these cams (I've spoken with Geoff there), it seems they have a great idea for the 2.4 Ecotec. Mev at JBP is hoping they're successful for them to market, too. Mike, brave soul that he is, has surely been frustrated with what has happened, as are everyone following this saga.
Mike, I feel for ya man. What started out as a good deal on some new cam technology for the LE5 has obviously turned out to be somewhat of a fiasco in how it has hit your wallet and tried your patience. I really hope that in the end you can look back and say it was really worth all your troubles and cost.
UpOnGaMe, I started looking elsewhere for some intelligent info for tuning my HHR and this forum was both entertaining and informative. On the HHR forums, there is a certain vendor who has a way with words, but little real knowledge when it comes to tuning. He has stated that our common Ecotecs like backpressure in the exhaust and hot air from the intake to run right. I've done testing and numerous dyno runs that prove that BS as wrong. If anyone questions him he will put them down with condecending remarks. Most of the knowledgeable people there have given up on that forum.
So...., again I apologize to you Cobalt folks, especially Mike, if my earlier post was taken wrong and hope to hang around some with ya'll.
