the only thing he doesn't tell people about his car or about tuning. is infact the tune on his car and how he tunes. those are the only secrets he keeps. nothing that he has done to his car is kept out of the public eye save for the tune. so please, just shut the hell up.

Really? Then why do we have to keep hearing how he "doesn't release his race gas numbers"?

cause he doesn't want to state how he tuned the car for a shitload more power.

i watched his car dyno the 342/267 thats in the dyno thread. i've rode in his car. i've seen what his tunes can do. i have no reason to not believe him.

I don't consider it some "guy on the internet." Aren't we all here for the same thing? To mod our cobalts and learn stuff from one another? usually forums are used to get info out there that has been tested so that others don't have to repeat the steps to achieve the same results.

I haven't had a problem ever posting up anything and everything about my car. And I have never refused to help anyone. there's a **** load of people on this forum that have my phone number and call me all the time. I've never charged a dime.

That doesn't make sense. I asked why we have to hear about how the HP numbers are not released. What's the point of saying that something is "a shitload more power" if no one ever says how much power? Maybe you think 4 whp is "a shitload more power." Who knows?

because people are to driven by numbers on this forum. i posted the pump gas numbers to give others something to shoot for. i never said it would involve multiple dyno's. some people with the tvs have dynoed higher than myself. one dumped a sleeve, the other **** the trans. i am sure there is other people who have higher numbers, but don't care either way.

i never posted my c16 numbers because of one thing. 99% of the time, my car is not at that power level. i can post those numbers, but it's a moot point in general

that's why he says his slicks slowed him down, they rubbed.
Where I get off saying they fit lowered? It's the size I run. Something must be JACKED in his suspension. Even with a half inch of rollout, the tires at 40psi still don't touch the bottom of the strut. Guess the Ion platform really is a better way to go then?

could be that the ion's setup is a tad different, just enough to fit them. On my cobalt, the mickey's were too big.

updated this list since I keep forgetting and only updated the top 10 thread.

almost got all 12sec times up there. good job everyone.

Its called 110 octane tune. That is why he was making 340whp. There is no secret to his tunes.
