What Have You Done To Your Cobalt Today?
The body shop had my car for 2-3 weeks and nobody from insurance even called the shop. The shop didn't even know what my car was doing there. Then the insurance (suck a dick state farm) refused to pay for my rental. Had to go to their facebook page to rant and they finally got my car taken care of in less than three days. It was awful.

Yup i got a rental so im alright for now but i miss my car like crazy. And yeah everything started moving after i called them asking what was happening so they called the shop and they told them someone was going on monday to see the car and accept the extra expenses and we can get the ball rolling
Did tons of **** today! 
Did some logging. Discovered with E47 my stock 2.2 with all bolt-ons at 6800rpm is at 80% injector duty cycle. I also uploaded an even more aggressive timing tune. Added a ton of timing in the lower rpm/higher load areas. The only KR I get is a mistake I made in the 4400-5000rpm area. Gave me 2* of KR. Backing it off. Runs fantastic. I don't regret buying HPTuners for an instant.
Last but not least I ran a couple of my logs through Virtual Dyno. I ran it with the torque converter locked, and with it unlocked. On the same road, running the converter locked showed 10hp more than with it unlocked. Still no idea how accurate the program is but I don't really care. It's still neat to play with.
Here's what I got at 3800ft above sea level:

Got a bunch of things done today myself. I went out and got new tires, Continental ExtremeContact DW:
Did some spring cleaning on my engine, it was really beat up from the winter:
and I had the coolant line that runs from the turbo around to the front of the engine fail some time ago at the track. Someone at the track had some line I was able to toss on to finish my day off and I left it on all winter. Today I put the hardline back in with stainless steel braided lines, which is a bit hard to see in this picture:

got my pos back up and running again after it sat buried for months.
now just have to figure out why the new alt isn't triggering to turn on (mechman 1 wire) then I can finish it up.
