Apparently not. If you tards would buy the 5-spd we wouldn't have this problem.

Actually based on that post I assumed he was manual.

Oh yea, forgot to ask. What is a trifecta tune? I have seen it a lot around this site but have never heard of it at all around my city. Nor have I seen it anywhere in the surrounding cities. Would getting that type of tune done work decently for my sport and if so, where can i go to even get one?

but OP

i woudnt do a thing to your car until you figure out where you want to end up with it

and learn about the suddle, but shitty difference's in the sport, like for instance, you can't go to ZZP's site and order the LSJ throttlebody adapter and put it on, since we have a 6 pin throttebody connector

or like the biggest known fact is the e37's tunning cappablitlies is limited to trifecta, which i would never run on my car, just my opinion, or LS2 edit, EFI live, or a standard AEM f/ic

the car has 2 cats? go figure, just another difference, id start by getting the LSJ (supercharged) downpipe, they make a lot of difference, and go with the cobalt addiction v2 header, since this stuff can be used for the supercharged build later, if you go that route

id suggest also just doing a muffler swap with a magnaflow muffler, 2.5" straight threw 14" and replace that god awful lunch box muffler in the back.

id stay away from things like an intake, if you do want to go s/c'd you will have absolutley no use for this

well thats my input, goodnight

I know. I reread it and it does come off as his car being either. But assuming is bad for your health.

Anyway, I have a manual 2.4 so it's whatever. Xander is always following me around when we cruise... haha

No hard feelings? Didn't mean to sound like a dick.

okay, buy a magnaflow muffler

2.5" in/out 14" long

and have an exhaust shop replace your stock muffler in the back of the car with this

that should be your first mod! lol dont spend money where you dont need to, its the same as a 500 dollar catback

then pick up a LSJ supercharged downpipe, its a great improvment, **** i put down 258whp with one, and again, there cheap

go to www.cobalt-addiction.com for the header i was telling you about, for the price, its the nicest piece around, polishd stainless shorty etc, and its like 200 bucks

BAM, full exhaust! and for what under 450 bucks? lol

its just me, personally i hate the whole concept and idea, i think its a huge waste of time sending files back emailing, uploading, paying a deposit, then uploading again, logging,

o hey i changed a part, new deposit, new log, new upload etc etc etc

i will never run a canned tune on my car, thats all

I can beat Previous Gen V6 Mustangs, other Cobalts/G5s, a turtle, maybe a hare.

Being auto sucks, once it gets out of second, it loses everything.

Xander...was that dyno stock?
