Was it worth it? Well...I have more torque steer

Final thoughts: Its strange how the power comes on. It's smooth and it keeps pulling until you shift to the next gear; then it pulls more. Usually when you make a jump this big, the car feels more savage and raw but I'm still really impressed with this kit.

 

He came awfully late lol.

 

For real, lol. Did he apologize for waking you up? Haha

 

Was at the coast for a few days and just came back. The parcel arrived right before I departed Langley. I just hope the local dealership knows what they're doing. They still think I have a LSJ and this is a far cry from their stage 1

 

Hahaha, i would HOPE they notice once they pop the hood, but you never know these days lmao

 

I'm a bit confused, okay I don't know much about these fancy computer controlled gizmo's

but is that nothing more than a new MAP sensor and associated bolts and wiring connectors for $600?

 

It also has a code to re flash the ecu so I should be sitting around 300 hp and still have my warranty.

 

sweet sweet victory!!!

 

You're gonna need more than that to take me at mission!... You'll really enjoy what it does for the car! Warning! You'll likely start to want a set of ottp stage2 mounts just so you can launch harder. I bought mine about 2 weeks after getting tuned.

 

I know I'll need a lot more to run with you. Thinking a down pipe is next but we'll see how generous E.I. can be. If you know anyone looking for an apprentice electrician, let me know

 

ahhh makes perfect sense if you need to keep your warranty.

 

I gotta get the clutch that's sitting on the shelf installed, you'd probably win with the gms1 cus the stocker is slippin more and more. Demand for all the construction type work is gonna start to pick up soon, economy's starting to grow again!

 

Which dealership you taking it too? I know Gold Key in Langley has done it. They've done it on my car and a Solstice GXP that i know of and may have done a couple more since then.

 

Sentes Chevrolet in Penticton. Kind of limited to options at the moment. I'd prefer someone who knew what they were doing.

 

Hmm... I wonder if Sentes remembers my car. White TC with blue painters tape on the front end.

 

I was the guinea pig in my area, no dealership had ever done one when I went in. Look around a bit and find a dealer who's service manager is willing to sit down and discuss the kit with you, will listen to what GM recommends and see if they have someone in the back who deals with electrical (alarms, remote starters, etc.) . Also highlight what you think are important steps on the instructions so they cannot miss it. Namely:

1) The code for the flash for your year of Cobalt
2) The step to shave the boss off the TMAP
3) Replacing the green o-rings on the sensors with the blue ones from the kit

 

UPDATED! Everything went fine and according to plans. All I need now are new tires. They wanted to spin all through second and start of third

 

Glad you're havin' fun with it!
