06 cobalt ss in jax
Hey I am David from Jacksonville,FL I recently picked up a silver cobalt ss g85 package with the gm stage 2 kit and lower springs (which I plan on changing out soon). I want to make it a fun street car/autocross project. I guess that's it for now

Bam.
I know you car. You bought it from Scott in Tampa.
That was the first SS I ever drove and the reason I have had two of them.
You let me know when you are ready for a tune to really unleash some power; I tune LSJs and live about an hour from you.
Ps. Those lowering springs are crap! Lol

Nice, but I think I need to change a few things before getting it tuned. I was thinking about Powell springs with koni yellows. Oh and happy Easter

Go on Facebook and find JCM or Jacksonville Car Meets (If it is public right now. They have to do cop clenses every so often lol).
Street.
I wil do dyno after I have a street tune I am happy with and adjust for most power while still maintaining good DD characteristics.
Do your struts, shocks, springs, and CABs. The CABs are the bushing that go through the control arm. When they go bad you have a ton of fore and aft movement while driving. I know they have never been done before on that car. Mine were bad by 50k on both of my SS.

Fuel filter should be newer on that car. It had the dealer recall for the fuel pump and tank done like 2 years ago.
There is more room for power out of your tune.
I would say you check out the Spark Plug bible here and get a fresh set of the correct plugs for your car. Get a Wideband in there. Change the fuel filter. Cabin air filter (behind the glove box). And look into the CABs and lower control arms out front. Check out the brakes as well; if need replaced I suggest Powerstop pads and blank rotors.
You have a GM stage two hub on that car. If you want more power, find a 4 bolt hub 2.9" pulley and a set of 60# injectors for her. Once I tune you, I will always support your tune for future mods.
There are a few other SS up your way too. A white turbo one, red turbo one, black supercharged one, and another black turbo one that is slammed low.

Yeah they all are that's why I think I am going to change them before I do anything else. But anything I should look for other then the normal stuff. The belt looks ok and it holds boost. I do have an oil leaks I am trying to track down, I already replaced the valve cover gasket and it seemed to fix it but it looks to be back

Sometimes oil seeps by and you need a dab of RTV in the corners of the cover.
