B&M Shiftplus

I've noticed quite a few people have these and I looked it up on Turbo Tech Racing and I was wondering what kind of HP gain if any is there?

It makes automatics shift harder/faster. You can feel it when you go from 1st in to 2nd really well.

A tune is allot better but if you can't afford to get it tuned/ can't find someone. Its a cheap alt

No, you have to splice 2 wires.

I have one installed in my 2.4, I like it a lot. I decided to get it cause I don't plan on spending money on a tune untill I actually need it, all I have right now is the shiftplus and an injen CAI. I didn't splice the wires because I know I'd eventually take it off so I just cut back some of the rubber covering around the wires and set it up that way (I didn't want to cut wires). And think of it this way, a tune is definatly better but seeing your mods I'd wait untill you at least have a full exhaust or something.

tune>shiftplus
$250 for tune<$40 for a shiftplus

The Cobalt's autotranny has an electronic pressure control valve -- the B+M shift-plus increases the tranny's internal fluid pressure by altering the signal to the electronic pressure control valve to make it shift harder.

It's well worth it. You're only taping into 2 wires, it's not gonna destroy your car. If you wanna go back to stock just take it off and tape over where the connections were made with electrical tape.

such an easy install and well worth it IMHO.... I was amazed at how much firmer the car shifts.... I haven't tested, but it definately cuts some time off your 0-60

If you get a tune then you no longer need it. Just take it off and enjoy your new tune.
