Back in the day I was on this forum with my 2006 SS/SC. Although im sure this site has changed quite a bit since then, I am happy to say that I am back with my new (to me) 2009 Cobalt SS/TC!

I was in need of a new daily driver as my Yukon is not the greatest on gas mileage and my real toy stays in the garage. I thought to myself "why not go back to a fun car" and here I am.

My name is Matt and I am a GM tech for about 8 years now in Kansas City, MO. Specializing in mostly Cadillacs, I am a huge GM fan. I will be picking up my Cobalt this Saturday from Chicago. Its black with red accent interior and G85 package. I would be interested in swapping my high spoiler for a low if anyone else is looking for one.

I hope to get many years out of this car and will be installing at least the 3bar map sensors with my own tuning, and the powell PCV system I have been reading about. The car is already lowered and has the HAHN intake and zzp catless downpipe installed. I am very familiar with LS based engine management and hope to learn more about the LSJ/LNF setups through HP tuners and both experimenting myself and also learning from info here.

 

what is this "real toy" you speak of??

 

My "real toy" is a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. 6.2 liter supercharged with manual trans.

Mods list:
Eibach lowering springs
Professionally polished wheels
Airaid intake
American Racing long tube headers to catless x pipe
Ported throttle body and supercharger snout
2.4" upper with 8.6" lower pulley combos (around 15-16lbs psi)
850cc injectors
Triple pass low mount heat exchanger
Brian Tooley Racing stage 2 cam
Various cosmetic "enhancements"
All done with less than 11,000 on the odometer


Have not put it on the dyno since the last round of mods but am speculating ~650 RWHP on 91 pump gas.

Heres a couple pics. I can look for some more if anyone is interested.

 

Welcome...that V is @$#!ing sexy. If you really want to learn about lnf tuning hit hptuners forums. Enjoy your car man

 

Thank you, appreciate that. And I have skimmed through there quite a bit. I am comfortable with the information that I have gathered from the forums to tackle this myself. Hope to have some good results.

 

Oh man someone from kc. This makes my day. Welcome back man.

 

Welcome back!

 

Nice car

Love the CTS-V. Any videos of it?
