Ive tuned plenty of LNFs, and yes there are dumb questions. The kid wants e85 but doesnt want to make power. Im not putting my name on weak cars like you do. And i dont tune idiots who cant even explain what they are trying to ask. When any of you can build what i build and actually make something worthwhile, then you MIGHT be able to talk ****. But until then, stick with your slow ass cars, and go back to trolling little scions and civics lol.

Would just have to see some of the cars that he does before I decided to ever go to him. Good luck with the business tho!
Trust me, Sean has tuned *plenty* of Cobalts in Chicagoland.

99% of us have moved on from this forum, due to the drama and crap that goes on in every thread.

Oh and if anyone wants to see how well a street car cobalt can be built. Come see mine. These shops you kids buy your parts from cant compare in quality.

Oddly enough I have yet to see anyone mention his name outside of the mid central forum.

I think it's funny that Scythe Snake drove all the way to Michigan to get ZZP to do his build when the almighty car building Sean from Chicago is right in his back yard. Hhhrrmmmm.....

I'll gladly race, I don't care if lose though, that's the difference. See you all in the Spring. I can't wait. Someone book Great Lakes right now...

Sean, I asked for the E blend tune then you told me I could make more power on 93, which is horse manure btw, that's why I asked you for a conservative tune bc we all know 93 doesn't have the capabilities that E does to make power safely. Please bring out your "fast car". I'd love to see it... Care to join me around some cones?

Im actually really glad you said that, because i have a good buddy with an LNF that would LOVE to race your e85 car. Hes just running 93 with a stock bolted LNF. Lets make it interesting $$$. And BTW ryan took his car to zzp before he met me...

I will run him but I will not be straight E85, I'm after a blend tune. Just to clarify...

So did you actually fabricate any of that or did you buy and then assemble? I'm big enough to admit its a pretty bad ass looking Cobalt though. I'm not scared yet, I've seen scarier.

Everything was fabricated and welded by me.

Exhaust mani is temp, zzps unit modified to work with a larger framed turbo. New one in progress, heres a pic of the modded zzp mani.


Intercooler is precisions 600hp core. This is the only pic i have of it, only thing i did to this was weld brackets on the top for mounting. Got a deal on this when i bought the turbo.

Not bad. I'll admit the exhaust manny looks so-so but it could be the picture. Looks good over all though.

See, I don't understand. Someone like you should have totally understood where I was coming from with all the questions. There was really no reason for the flakiness. I'll man up and apologize for the rudeness I displayed earlier and the "MASS of dumb questions" from a couple months back. I am a VERY thorough and cautious person when it comes to my cars. I've been dicked over so that's where I get it from. I still think James is an elite tuner and I will stick with him, no disrespect to you.

I'll still run your boy next Spring though. I ain't scurrrrrd.

Well, unless you want pictures of K&N, Injen and Bad Mab, then I ain't got none. Haha! I just got bolt-ons. I don't plan to build this car. It's a stepping stone to something better in the future.

The exhaust mani is temporary. Bought it before i realized that its not ideal for what im trying to accomplish. Working on a new one over the winter. Not trying to sound cocky here, but you'll understand what i meant when i said you could make more power on 93 then e85/e60. Im all for e85 when you can deliver the fuel. With an aggressively tuned LNF you just cant deliver it when flowing a high volume of air. Ive spent years tuning cars, not just cobalts either. Its easy for people to talk **** online, but when it comes down to it, not many people actually know how to build a car, let alone how the stuff works. These are the people i see out tuning cars now a days. And it makes me sick. Good luck with your car. Glad you got tuned, looking forward to showing you what a properly tuned car can do. And quick question, when your car was trapping 106 was that tuned or untuned. PLEASE tell me untuned...

I was asking for pics of the awesome stuff your TUNER built, if anything...

Yes, that was GMS1 with the 106mph. Haha!

I still disagree with you on the E blend. Just based on the laws of thermal dynamics and physics, E47 should way out perform 93. E blends can run way more timing. I am far from an expert on tuning though so I'll stop there but there is a reason BYT and Trifecta and others have E tunes. People are subbing E for Meth Inj, that alone speaks volumes to me.

Edit: I understand what you're saying about the volume of air flow on highly tuned cars coupled with the fuel system limitations. Even a dialed back E car should out perform a car on 93. I would love to be proven wrong though bc God knows running an E blend is gonna be a pain...

James' car is no slouch. Ill let him post the pics of his build. He would give you a run for your money most definitely.

Considering your the **** rare who is is talking the trash. Is like to say Ure trying to compensate for something. Do you own a daewoo. Also I built my car, I've changed my setup three times now. I've been around longer then you just like all the vendors and reputable tuners here. You think since you have a built lsj you will beat my built lnf? Lol... Talk about dreams. Now you might have a quick car, but how long it gonna last? Lol.... Saying i dont know **** about cars whwn i just built a few lsjs a couple weeks back and I built my old lsj and lnf. And built more cars then you have prob have legit brain cells.

Now if anybody here wants to put their money where their big mouths are and actually race, which i doubt you kids are even allowed to leave your home town, Bring your slow saturn or your garbage turbo'd lnf out and get smashed.
