Questions for all :)

So i have a few problems and need some help...

Whats the stock boost for a 05 ss/sc? without the pully?

How can i tell if i have the stock injectors or aftermarket?

The damn car came with an exhaust and i have absolutely no idea on how to tell what size exhaust it is(diameter). So any easy ways to find out for free?

I have aftermarket front springs that are adjustable. Their is 2 letters they are BC maybe someone can clarify what they are? If you need more info let me know what i need to do to find it for you please.

This is my biggest problem Im having clutch problems with it slipping. When it slips it Revs up but the boost guage hits like 19 psi. Last i seen stock Blowers can hit 12 psi max? Why does mine hit 19ish?


Thanks and please dont be a turd sandwich and say /thread like a noob after you answer a question.

also


My turn signals dont like to shut off on their own? does anyone else have this problem?

Stock boost about 12.5 psi

BC Coilovers sounds like...

Take a garment style measuring thing and wrap it around the exhaust pipe....

19 psi is nuts...

The dealer is a bunch of Jews trying to jack me of my money. All they said that was aftermarket was my exhaust. Said it cost over 2k... I was like "you must not know too much about cars"

so how do i post a picture?

Stock injectors are green as well, if they aren't green, they aren't stock.

Stock pulley is a one piece steel pulley, if it has bolts on it, its not stock. If its aluminum, its not GM Stage 2/3 pulley.

Also, what brand is the exhaust? Is there a name on the muffler somewhere?

i bought it in Hillsboro oregon carfax said it was from ohio.

The pully looks like it said 7/9mm maybe im wrong??

It has 4 blue bolts connecting it.

I will take a look at the injectors tommorrow its night now.

and how much does a dyno tune usually run someone? and whats those things you can use to see all the **** on your car? i hear people talking about them on hear. How much do those cost?

i didnt see a name on exhaust but i didnt really look to hard either.

Anyone on here from washington?

Vancouver washington or portland oregon area? i seen someone awhile back in my city with cobaltss.net sticker accross the top of his windshield where can i get those?

blue bolts? ya, u have some performance mods


we need pics lol

a dyno tune can run 50-150 really depends on where and what kind of dyno, but a dyno is more of a tool for comparison rather than just to find ur HP.

the guys at the ur local tuner shop or dyno will def help u out in finding out what u have. just go in and ask them to help you out, tell them you bought the car and relaized it had many performance mods and you want to know what it has done and its HP, they might charge u a bit tho.

blue bolts are GM stage 2, so you have at least that much. 19psi is way more than it should be though, 15-16psi is normal for stage 2. You may have something blocked in the exhaust or other issues. Or it could be a C/A 2.79 pulley which also had 77.9mm written on it.
