Do you currently have a Cobalt, or did I see you are in process of buying? I'm the body shop manager at Pat Clemons and have an 09 SS/TC in Imperial Blue. If you get one, you need to stop by sometime for me to check it out. There's also an HHR SS around town- silver- I think he may work either at Moffit Ford or at Top and Body b/c I saw the same HHR at a Body Shop meeting for the DNR. Maybe I'll see you around.

My old '09 Coupe ever pop up around Iowa? Pretty sure I saw it driving in Altoona, IA not too long ago. I had hoped they would post up because I left the pill and tune on the car when I dumped it. Whomever test drove that car was probably like holy cow!

Hey guys, I am just dropping by to see if any of you guys would be interested in a tune. I am trying to setup a road trip with a buddy of mine (Sean, Banhammer on here now). He tunes LSJ's, and is very good with them, and I tune LNF's. We would like to make a trip out your guy's way to do some tunes and would be willing to offer a deal if we could get a few out your way!

Please PM me if you are interested, it would be fun to hang out too. If you guys have any regular meets that you set up, we would love to come out to one of your meets and hang out while we are in town!

Really, if I can get a group of people in a certain part of Ia (minus the very west portion, haha) I would go wherever. I could do Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, anywhere really. Heck, Davenport would be PRIME for me, haha, only an hour drive to there!!!

We will both be charging $250 for a street tune. It would be helpful if we could get a couple tunes together, to make it worth the trip out, ya know?

Street tune is done on the street, whereas a dyno tune would be the other option, and would be done on the dyno. Typically, you get slightly better results on a dyno, because each car reacts slightly different to each change, and we can track these changes on the dyno. You also would get a printout of your numbers, and we could maximize the power under the curve.

A street tune, we use our 'butt dyno', we go by how the car feels. Sean and myself can both nail a car down very well on a street tune. Some people prefer street tunes because it is more 'real world'-like. Basically, its what would be most useful day to day (not saying I can't do this on the dyno, because I can).
