Works really well, if you set it to the right setting it eliminates all your wheel hop. I have one and wouldnt trade it for the world. And thats about as cheap as they get, this site has it for a couple bucks cheaper. http://www.ultrarev.com/product.php?productid=34135 Thats where I got it, best price I could find.

When I got the 15 I had I/H/E, 34# injectors, HPtuners and lowering springs, and I did that without a launch. Im looking to get around 14.8 or so now cause I can launch the girl from 3500 with no wheel hop

what track did you do this at? cause i live in pa. and your running a 15.0 with ihe? the 2.0 injectors doesnt really make that much of a difference if at all. and lowering springs? i dont get it lol, do you have a time slip?hptuners?

I run it on the Mason Dixon track here in MD. I have the fuel injectors cause I needed them to get the tune from HPtuners. And I mentioned the springs cause they help with the squat you get when you take off. And I have a slip and I will scan it to my comp and get it up ASAP. Oh, and the track is 287 ft above sea level, if you were wondering

See i dont know what maple grove is, that is like 15 mins from my house is where i go. I was looking around but im sure its alot higher than that, which could mean why i am running much higher times. Can you explain about the tune? like did you get it already pre-tuned? and you just put the bigger injectors in it? I mean i was looking into it a little bit

Well, I got the tune done by a guy on here, Doc, and he uses Psykostevo's tune. Basically, after I installed all my mods, I went to a meet here in frederick, and Doc used HPtuners to tune my car. And i was told that the stock injectors couldnt handle the things that the tune would do so I needed bigger injectors. I guess they dont really add power but they make the tune work, and the tune adds power lol.

Here is my drag slip, sorry it took so long, scanner problems. But yea, like I said, I had just I/H/E and a tune. And no launch, when I go again I should be in the 14's, especially since I have a car that works now lol. Ive been having tranny problems but thats a long story.

Well looks like I suck at uploading images, lets see if a link works

yeah, Doc was gonna tune mine......I have the #34 injectors and harness too........but then he had to dip out to CA. So now, i've decided to get the Vector ECM tune and leave the #34 injectors off.

I have the Ingalls ETD. Works like a charm and cleared my AEM CAI with no problems at all. Helps with wheel hop alot, but I still wanna throw on the Prothane front/rear tranny mount inserts and KILL that wheel hop once and for all......

if you have the 2.4 get the injectors and that harness. its great i have it. but if its your only car and cant afford the week downtime then whatever. so how is the torque is there less engine movement and wheel spin.

I can't afford a week of downtime. I have one car, and that car is the Cobalt. And I can't really borrow a car from the rents, as they are hundreds of miles away down in SC. Hell, I don't even have a bike to ride for my 25 mile commute to work.

Geez, looks like I got lucky that I caught Doc when I did. No down time from the tune, and no problems, save from a lean code. But thats no big deal.

indeed you did. Me however, my 16 hour work days 5 days a week somewhat prevented me being able to catch Doc before he dipped out.

Owell. Sucks to be me I guess.
