Here's my 2008 SS. None of the modifications could have been performed without all the knowledge/information and great people on css.net. Oh and group buys didn't hurt either .












I can not confirm nor deny that bigger pictures can be found by searching for the #1 Cobalt on cardomain

 

Nice

 

how can you have a bigger turbo and only be at 306?

 

Shitty tuning? factory freak car(low on power)? super conservative dyno? I'm going to blame a lot of the numbers on tuning. I have to get my water/meth kit tuned for and at the time im going to have my tune looked it. This time my tune will be done by Rick of BTF racing

 

yea..everyones raving about the trifecta tune..i think when i get my turbo and stuff i might have my tune done by them just dont know yet.

 

I have no problems with HP tuners. Originally after tuning i only made 301whp and 310wtq. I sent Rick my tune file and just adjusting cam angles a bit i picked up the extra 5hp and 25tq. So im pretty confident when i get it on his dyno and in his hands i should get some "respectable" numbers.

 

Nice and clean i like it!

 

Bump for view

 

Edit your Original Post and at the end of the picture links, delete "_thumb"

 

None of my picture links have "_thumb". My wife edited the photos so im guessing thats part of the reason even though of cardomain they are bigger. Congrats on COTM

 

Oh thanks alot man!

well pics are great! just wish they were bigger

 

hiltu, you might want to try to figure out something about the pics, that's one of the rules with the car of the month, they have to be at least a certain size and you cant have the link directing people to a different page, that will get you kicked out of the running. it says no external links...thought i'd let you know so you don't get screw out of being in the running.....nice car, you got almost the same set up as my 09ss/tc, i just don't have a bigger turbo on it yet.. i did stuff my self with a friend... i didn't buy anything from vendors....nice car thou, note i think your numbers are off, they should be higher than that.....i did more than that, far over that, with the stock turbo... but, i like your car man nice set up. good luck

 

I read that, but since my pics were on my post and my link was to clarify the pics that i was alright. I understood it as your pics have to be on you post not externally linked out. Thanks though.
