Just got 2010 black cobalt ss. Decided to join the forum after looking around on the net for few modifications to do with my car(which always ended me up here).

 

Welcome!
what are your current mods and upcoming plans?

 

0 mods as of now.
Plans:
retrofit headlights (5k or 6k) painted black
smoked led taillights
enkei ekm3 wheels
exhaust (not sure which one yet)
possibly cai
possibly a tune

 

Tune should be on top of your list.

I'm still searching on what tune to get and that is not a set order.

 

HP Tuners lol. Dont over think it.

 

HPTuners.

welcome to the group!

 

why not trifecta?

 

You done it now by asking lol. HPTuners has much more potential but $ per HP Trifecta is better. And I love the two tune feature.

 

So why not go with trifecta if it will give you more hp? just saying.

 

lets see if this works

 

trifecta is a decent tune, i like the selectable tunes, but hp tuners will give you more power and a better quality tune (depending on the tuner obviously), plain and simple welcome to the forum


**EDIT: P.S. ANY MODIFICATION WILL NOT GAIN YOU ANY PEAK HP OR TQ UNLESS YOU ARE TUNED**

 

Because no one has time to wait a month for a tune. There are many other reasons but I am biased.

 

I disagree with the hp per dollar being better with trifecta. You get what you pay for.

 

do you still tune/will you still be tuning next year around march? i'm planning on driving down to florida when i get back from the middle east, i haven't had enough sand lol aka my buddie lives down there and i will need a vacation

 

Yes

 

Welcome to Cobalt land, Once you enter there's no escape.

 

will gms1 be fine if I have bolt ons?

 

Yizzirr

 

GREAT. I just found out last week thatmy car does have the gms1 so I guess its ok.

 

GMS1 isn't too bad, and the plus side to that is that if your car has that then you also have the upgraded sensor that comes with it.... which i still need lol

 

Tune on top of the 3 bar MAPs is even better. GMS1 makes around 270whp on 93. A good tune can make 315-325 whp on 93.

 

Do not change your intake without a tune. Also a catless DP is almost pointless without a proper tune so other than a better IC to keep IATs down and upper charge pipe (lower charge pipe is not worth changing unless you blow yours which I doubt will ever happen) leave the rest stock unless you want to custom tune it.

 

Welcome, post some pics!
