P.S. She's My Kind of Crazy is definitely my favorite song right now too haha. Request that song everyday at work during the request lunch hour. Eric Church - Creepin and the new T.Swift song are high up on that list too. Thought it was Avril Lavigne at the start and not really a fan but every time I hear it it just gets better and better .
I don't recall seeing your user name before!?

Welcome here!

If this is your "2nd home" - how often are you here??
I was recently corresponding with a couple Cobalt SS owners from "the Queen city" (iirc that's what it's refered to right?)

Please allow me to introduce myself;
My name is Jonathan

HA!

Did you ever see the run Bluelightening posted of his & my run?

He's a good guy, has an awesome car, and I obliged his request, not because I thought I had a chance, but simply because he asked nicely, and was confident of the place to do it...

the only problem with that thread was it digressed into a trifecta bashing thread - exactly like he and I expected...

I can't hold a candle to his modifications though...

if you (or anyone else here) hadn't noticed, I learned to pick my battles a while back...
fun aside;
same car, different seats, different brakes & suspension... which one is better is up to the person to decide.
block? - come on Mark, they're both the same bore & stroke...
and what lack of beefing up, lack of oil squirters, and what else make it better?

You of all people know that I am not the type to knock the LSJ ~ but my bias sits in the car I bought (obviously)

As to your assertion that the TVS should have been OEM on the LSJ, I would counter with this;

Caliber SRT4 came with a multi-port fuel injected 2.4l 285hp stock.
  • It has more displacement;
  • It has a larger turbo;
  • It has a fuel system that is more adaptable to modifications.
IMHO the LNF should have been released with a larger turbo, and setup more adaptable to modifications...



Direct injection has been a hold back - causing some tuners to have fueling issues;
ZZP fixed this by adding a 5th injector infront of the throttle body(?);
in the last little bit (iirc) there is a new direct injection injector that is compatible, which has higher flow values...

So, in short the percieved fueling "issue" has been long fixed - one of two ways.

What are you up to this long weekend?
