Welcome, don't sell it. You can go with the factory gms1 program that will make it more fun to drive.

You can make your cobalt blow the doors off your STI for low cost.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with a good tune the balt can be around 300whp right? I believe the ko4 can run 23psi efficiently. Sti is currently 350ish whp with some bolt-ons and a tune.

yes a straight tune will get you over 300whp and 22-24psi flows very efficient for the K04. you are lighter then your STI, so even at 300-330whp you'll be faster then your sti. full bolt ons and a tune on e85 will get you around 350whp at 22-24psi. you also wont have to worry about blowing your ringlands lol.

Yea those dam boxers lol. Gatta love the sound though. 350whp would require some nice tires to put that power down. How's the torque steer?

hahaha. they do sound good though, i will admit that lol. only reason why i dont have one is because i cant trust them even with bolt ons lol. im running some nitto neo gens right now and they hook pretty good. spin some in 2nd and then grab and 3rd-5th i have 0 issues. torque to me im used to it lol its there but its manageable lol. nothing like a honda or something like that lol.

Yea they are pretty sketchy. If it blows I'll just build it though haha. I doubt I'll ever go e85 in the balt as it's my daily driver. Maybe some bolt-ons and a tune though.
