The competitors ACTUALLY dont pay much more at all..
as far as starting wage there, im not too sure what its at but i dont its that high...
CCS is pretty slow right apparently, cept the normal Sunco/Group Piche stuff, i talk to jeremy lots but i try not to talk about CCS because im still pretty bitter at dave about "letting me go"...

seeing that spring is coming soon and I have a bit of money to spend, I was thinking about buying:
ZZP H/E
60# inj
RAW intake.
Once I get these I was gonna throw my 2.9 on and some new spark plugs.
What do you think good upgrades from my current mods? or should I be looking at something else?

Im not saying this is a bad idea, I just didnt think about it, and am curious, not to mention I am a little afraid of nitrous as I have never used it before.
You should try it so you can tell me how it works out........im to nervous to put it on without seeing how it has worked out for others as well

Gabba, Gabba, Gabba....
What time? I am going to the Hockey game at 1:00 and possibly for beers at Dixons after.
She is perdy dirty right now though, well outside anyway and I don't know if I will have time to detail her other than a wash. This winter has put a toll on trying to keep her clean. She is going to need a complete detail the first real nice spring day we get. (interior clean and dry shampoo, exterior detail with zaino z2 wax.
Cheers

i was warned taking the trim pieces off and getting them back exactly in place is a major PITA, as well maybe somebody can tell me, is it even possible to paint the hvac and headunit very easily or is that a PITA too??
You can't knock me for wanting a slightly more refined interior, that is personal choice. Yes I could paint it but in the end I am still disappointed with the overall interior and it makes me think in 2 years when I'm in the market for a 2nd vehicle it might not be a GM. I am still very happy with my Cobalt regardless of interior woes, I could not ask for a better setup sports car for the price paid.......u just can't escape that if GM had spend $500 more per ss/sc and ss/tc cobalt on a slightly nicer interior they would have sold like hotcakes. (<--yes i know that topic has been beat to death, raised from the dead and beaten to death again 100times over) And if somebody has decent experience pulling all the silver trim apart and wishes to offer their assistance one weekend to help me get it all pulled apart and painted that would be incredible
well, in other news the ebrake does not click into place anymore, i can hold the ebrake up and it still holds the rear brakes so it's not the cables......such a shame lol i'll get a free oil change outta this

LOL thats a tad agressive isnt it? Do you think this setup would be a good idea on the 42s instead of the 60s? Besides cant HP tuners do everything that stage3 can?
Im not saying this is a bad idea, I just didnt think about it, and am curious, not to mention I am a little afraid of nitrous as I have never used it before.

Hp tuners can do more than stage3 pcm. Stage 3 pcm is not tunable. So if your arn't running nitrous you probably don't need it . As for running the 2.8 and 42's you won't have any issues at all.Especially if you spray water meth. Some guys are running the stage 3 pcm in 100 octane mode while spraying water meth without issue. I know everyone on hear says you need 60's.I think they are a waste of time and money. Also the pcm can't really handle the 60's and you have to fool it by screwing up the maf table. This makes the car run inconsistant and always seems to be rich. I spent hours and hours dialing my car in.

Thought about it for about 24 hours lol, that's why they say sleep on it rite? I want RWD pretty badly but I can't afford 2 vehicles which is how it has to be.
