you would have to be doing very long sustained wot runs at a very rich afr to ruin the cat. Gm makes plenty of factory forced induction vehicles, all with cats on them.

 

Also isn't the LSJ tuned to hit like 10.8 AFR WOT from the factory?

 

That would be an issue.... should be 11.8-12.2 if no one has touched it.

 

ive seen a few factory tunes that command very rich afrs under certain conditions, cant say for sure though on the LSJ

 

If you have a source that says otherwise I would be interested in seeing it but both my tuner and most of the reports I have found online say that stage 2 is set at 10.8 AFR. Obviously that isn't ideal and I don't know why the GM engineers decided to go that way. Only thing I can imagine they were trying to play it safe in case the intercooler system failed.

 

The Quad 4 was the fattest running engine I knew of from the factory at a normal 13.5:1

 

I am not referring to a stage tune... OEM out the door.

 

Stage tune is OEM though... Which would be more applicable to the pulley you are running.

 

Replaced the driverside headlight. It had some water in it that didn't want to come out.

 

I want a High rise spoiler.

 

Replaced fuel injector and gave the interior some shine

 

throttle body could use a cleaning too no?

 

I just finished painting the front of my car today, I went with satin black. I think it came out pretty good. Now I just have to replace those hideous OEM headlights with some blacked out projectors !

 

Took off the zfr from the coupe will be installing it in the sedan on Saturday

 

Did an oil change today
this happened over the weekend :/

 

you did end up finding a sedan?

 

Spent probably 5 hours total doing a full wash, wax and interior clean for CSCS tomorrow in Cayuga 👌🏼

 

Yes I did pretty happy with it right now

I'm actually installing the zfr should be done tomorrow

 

nice glad you found one. lol i didnt think you would to be honest

 

Haha thanks I was being serious, I'm still working on transferring what I can some good work going into it

 

My recent work over the last few months.
Wrap is Satin Pearl White with Gloss Green Envy stripes. Engine powdercoat is Illusion Money green.

I posted pics of the engine parts when I got them back from powdercoat, it was mentioned that the fuel rail internals may not of survived. Well they have been working properly for nearly 2500km now.

 

Usually I think body kits and hoods with louvers look ricey on a Cobalt but with your color scheme, that continues in engine bay, was executed very well and clean. Looks good!

 

Looks really good man

 

Going to try out my high temp powder coat on a set of headers. Same powder I have done 2 Stroke expansion chambers in.

 

Took it to the quarter mile for the first time. Ran 14's. Should be running 13's but need a bit of practice. **** is the track sticky lol
