I'm getting one soon too. I'm going to the Cobalt Addiction Dyno/Tune Day.
I can't wait. These cars need tunes real bad. There is so much potential to unlock.

i had a shop do it for me, my car required alot of work due to all the new parts so i had to pay $390ish. I would imagine you would be around $150ish. Your car would benifit greatly from it since you now have the 3" pulley too.
