06 Silver SS/SC

New to the cobalt just got out of the muscle car game. Had two t56/LT1 trans ams mild mods.

have an 06 SS/SC with recaros and pioneer ss from the factory.
Has a hahn header, magnaflow muffler and typhoon intake.

Could use a new front lip and headlights.

Looking for a handheld tuner, whats the best out there for the 2.0?

Also a how-to apply peelcoat to my stock 18's

Welcome, post pics please! What made you come from lt1 cars to a slowbalt? Should've went and bought a ls1 Camaro or transam lol

Most people use HP-tuners on here.

Could someone tell me the difference between the M62 and the TVS? Thanks

The TVS is both bigger and more efficient allowing you to make numbers into the 300's easily, but you really need E85 to make nice numbers on a TVS.

So I do have the TVS? lol doesn't seem like it. I've heard a lot of good things about handhelds but I will take your advice.

In the Eastern NC area and looking for a tune because, i'll be honest this car isn't as quick as i'd like it to be. Interested in a ZZP heat exchanger. . . .to the search bar!

I believe 12 psi is stock? Post a pic of the pulley on the side of the TVS. The picture is of YOUR engine bay correct ?

The pulley itself looks big, I don't know to much about tvs's. but if you want it faster, get a smaller pulley, then (maybe injectors , not sure what you have ) , and a tune, and itll be a lot faster.

Where do you recommend getting a smaller pulley? I've read 2.8 is a good size for mild performance increase. Anything I need to be aware of before I screw it up? lol CEL or installation-wise?

I appreciate your help and advice!
