hey dan i suggest not going bac to new era

 

Why not?

 

every cobalt tuned by him seems to being blowing up, there is just something wrong with his tunes,

mine for example

 

New Era is the ****. He is a damn good tuner. The reason people are blowing up is because of summer tunes in the winter. No one else around here tunes the Cobalts right now. Innovative does, but there track record with my friends cars is horrible.

 

In the summer my car ran like a raped ape, never a hiccup or miss step. It made good power and pulled hard. It letting go was my fault for hammering on it when its 25* outside and the dipstick popping out do to crank case pressure. I really dont feel that this is in anyway mikes fault. I will not take anything I own to innovative! Having it tuned by some one in NYC is really impractical for me. What happen to your car that made you think that it was mikes fault?

 

since mine blew up i dont trust em.. i going to paul aka 06blackg85ss

you can go to newera if you want to, i got no problem with mike, great guy... its just ppl said the tune felt inconsistent and way to rich in my car, i have had like 18 dyno pulls done by him... but i drive like an ******* so i have to put blame on myself, cant leave myself out of the picture

 

Boosted cars should be 11.9-12.0 range. What was your wideband saying? What do you mean felt inconsistent?

 

11.3 my wideband was reading

 

Did you ever try to get a hold of him to discuss your concerns of the possible issue? Mike's a good guy. He would have helped I'm quite sure if you thought something was wrong.

 

inconsistent? I never felt the it was inconsistent.

 

i took it bac to him for a retune, and i wasnt expecting it to blow and it just did, which im glad it did in a way cause i wanted to go turbo, i got use to the power of my car and wanted more... turbo is just more efficient and more power can be made

 

Ok so whos going to tune your car when its finished?

 

We need to sit down and talk sometime. I'd love to do a lot more discussion then what we can online.

I was only going with the ferrea because I might be ablt to get them for half the price of the supertech

Does any one see a viable weak link i may have over looked? I only want to do this once....

 

the seat locator's that come with the super tech set.

 

Is a weak link?

And you dont have a long block for sale any more lol...

the ferrea kit doesn't come with the seat locators. the supertechs do
