happy bday!

 

Happy birthday dude... 19, yer a youngin lol. Wish I could of owned my car at that age, I was stuck with a 4banger Jeep YJ on 33s when I turned 20.

Murrant - Add me on PSN, my id is CobaltSC06 (same as username here). Im not on often, but I can always use an extra buddy on the list

 

Neither am i.... Its not compared to IMAX... I took a peak at the 3DTV that they have in futureshop and was REALLY disappointed. Not worth the money IMO.

I will when i get home from work today, i only have Tiger Woods 10 right now which a few guys from work play, but waiting for the new series of EA Sports '11 games and the new COD lol.

 

Ya 3d is cool on a big screen but on a tv whn everything around it isnt 3d it just looks wierd

 

agreed lol dont think i would want to wear glasses to watch tv lol

 

PS3 is actually supposed to be the first console with 3d games coming out this fall...

 

Got in on a group buy for the SCT Tuner, ill be ordering it next pay along with 4 tunes, (on the bottle, off the bottle, fuel eco and valet mode). Reg price is $499, group buy price is $399...not to shabby. A tune really wakes the QC up everyone says. One guy showed me a dyno chart with intake and exhaust (same as i have). Had 50rwhp and 89lb trq increase.

 

Ok so since im a volunteer search and rescue member i get free registration. Since ill put the sar plates on my honda im thinking of getting a personalized plate for my cobalt. ive seen a few and thought of a few let me know what yas think

theres just so many good plate options

Are those the gains you expect on your truck or that tank? Lol

 

truck, apparently the QC reacts alot better to a tune then a RC because the QC has alot of things like torque management and a few others to make the transmission last, of course we all know that dynos in the states read higher so ill be happy with 30hp and 60lb of torque.

Made a little process today. My wires and coils should be here any day so im starting the tear down to be able to do it. Got the intake, fuel rails out and got half the intake manifold on bolted. Calling it a day since im hungry and about to go to boston pizza. There are 20 bolts holding the IM down, all of which a small wrench has to be used with barely any room to turn it. Heres the what everything looks like now









I also went by the tint shop that i had tint done on the cobalt and the Z. They are running a special all summer long. I'm getting them to take whatever % is on the truck now and getting the 5 windows tinted to 5% for $195.

 

Clean that throttle body....holy hell lol

 

Here it is. A little dissapointing :





Stu

 

Ouch.....it seems the more you mod these cars the worse the numbers get...something is very odd with yours stu.... You should be seeing 220 ish whp and 220ish wtq.

Glad to see your still alive. Haven't heard from you in a while.

 

was that tune somewere it has pretty awfull lump on the graph posted above
at 4300 by the look of the graph its has spark knock the timing was retarded



also for the dodge truck try it whit out the program then install the tune after

i know whit preditor and hypertec and there another one i cant remember the name
them hand held program you gain nothing in hp on the dyno i tried over 10 of them on the dyno whit the most i seen whas 3 hp gain on the srt8 and some even lost hp

let me know if they work i may get into that program but i want too buy the one that i tune myself

 

When did you dyno Stu?

Needless to say, you won't see a whole lot of gains without a real tune. My dyno from before was a little higher then that but still low, but i think that was my error.

I need to get on to see trifecta, ffs.

 

ne weds night at ravens 60 + tax.

 

Well ****, i would of went tonight if i knew some of ya'll went up.

 

i would be pissed if i dynoed what stu made. hell kingkole dynoed 230hp stock.

As for my TB, already done.




And JD Racing, its not a cheap hand held device, its the actual tuner but im not buying the tuning software. Torrie from Unleashed Tuning is sending me 4 tunes.

1. On the bottle performance
2. Off the bottle performance
3. Valet
4. Fuel Economy

 

Wouldnt be too upset with numbers stu heat hurts the numbers and it was hot out.. I only dyno'd 228whp and 219 wtq again perhaps that cai is changing things. Your torque is same as mine stock just yoir hp s a little low

heat shouldnt make a differance unless he just arive whit the car and the car was heat soke

the car need to be at oparating temp. that the only way i tune a car on the dyno

a cold car only give you false numbers you want numbers the way the car is driven on the road or at road course

will be doing another supercharger corvette in a few days when i finish the install
should be in the 550 whp range did one last year and still running strong

 

omg im going to shoot myself. 20 ******* bolts to unbolt the intake manifold. I got 19 out. But i cant for the love of god get the last one that is in the very back of the engine..lol

 

Needtoget atune and go again.

Stu

 

i think learn down was a factor in stu's case with the intake and all + fuel trims on the Injen prob aren't helping matters. tune will definitely wake it up

 

More progress. With alot of cursing, and grinding down my 7/16 wrench i finally removed the last bolt and removed the intake manifold. Now i just have to play the waiting game for the coils/wires to come in.

 

please tell me u put rags in all them intake holes into the heads, you dont wanna leave them open and risk somthing making its way in there.

 

yes i did chris, im not that dumb to leave them wide open...lol.
