Congrats on the feature, one of the best write ups I've seen on the LNF and Cobalt SS/TC, props man.

But 30 psi on the stock K04 without Meth inj or E85, crazy.

I have meth on the car just don't use it right now... no real need... unless I want more low end timing and power but honestly it's kinda worthless to have anymore down low

I ran 30 thru my car for over 10k miles without meth or E85, just have to avoid doing 5th gear pulls and be smart!

Congrats on the article Matt!

LOL Thanks Nick... It's been about 2700 on mine so far on this tune... not so much as a hiccup.

Goes to show ya if you know how to drive and don't beat up the cars they will be just fine!

FYI, I ran 26 psi for 10k miles on the stock K04 before the turbo swap. Shaft seemed like it was still in great condition when I exchanged it.

Nick, I know you ran that amount, I remember you saying you did and saw minimal whp but alot of torque gained.

So I wonder how many people will ask for 30 psi tunes now that you 2 tuners say its good to go :lol

I actually lost some hp... but picked up about 50ft/lbs. so it's a trade off honestly I am gonna be going back to the 22psi tune just for the sake of my tires.... ha ha ha ha

But I have had ZERO issues with it...

To be honest I didn't either. I was contacted by this guy.... not the other way around. Needless to say I was speechless and so was he! ha ha ha

The biggest difference is under the hood: normal Cobalts (or Slobalts, if you’re particularly sarcastic) are saddled with noisy, gutless port-injected Ecotec motors.
Talk about a low blow...
