Hi, I live in Bloomington (IN) and I own a Brammo ECOTEC-powered Ariel Atom. Number 44 to be exact. 
Most of you probably have no idea what this is/means, but suffice to say it uses the 2.0L supercharged ECOTEC. The problem is that the car has a custom tuned ECU that apparently sucks ***** (thanks GM Racing division). Atom owners like me are trying to work out how we can get around the crappy ECU to get more stable, tunable power out of our cars. My Atom is the 205hp version and is essentially a stock ECOTEC engine with some different cooling piping (which may also be problematic). Anyway, I'm looking for two things: First, a decent dyno in the Indy or Bloomington area that has HPTuners. Second, I'm trying to find a friendly Cobalt owner who might be up for letting me borrow their ECU for a few dyno pulls. In theory, swapping a stock ECU into the Atom should work after clearing all of the nasty codes it will throw because the Atom is so stripped down. I'd love to show up to a meet at a dyno if someone might be willing to go through with this. I would be forever greatful.
Joe

i'd be down for a dyno but i think that the one i would suggest you have to request a dyno day at least a month in advance. they are an awesome dyno. they run a dynojet. pretty nivce set-up. i think that if we get another day picked out in a month or so for the dyno.

This saturday is going to be a great oppurtunity for everyone to just take a day off from the typical bullshit and just roll out the cobalt all day!
Their were 6 cobalts and a ion that turned out last labor day:
man was it hot as hell that day!!
Notice in the picks that every cobalt .... modded...
talk about talent....
I think a lot of people that see cobalts don't appreciate the fact that someone can take a 15-24k car and make it a nice ass ride that can easily get 30 MPG and stomp the $#!t out of most v-8's!!
with that statement made this car comes to mind...
so maybe these pics can tease some more people out of hibernation....
Here is the list so far
Ifknrock "Danville"
cobaltstg2 "Fort Wayne"
Mr. Slowbalt "Fishers"
