Carolina Cobalts
hey matt...what kind of timing advance are you running for 93 octane....i know that the ss/tc and my gti are factory set for 91 octane timing...and since I DO have software to change my timing and a few other things just wondering how many degrees you would advance....i am thinking 3-5 degree advance would do the trick....
as soon as my cable comes in i will be doing some data logging for 2-4th gear, i'll post it up here, should be similar to what you have seen anyway

So, about 5* advance should be good considering I opened up the airflow a lot more over stock and i'm only running 93 octane (no 91 anywhere around me), and that makes the car inherently rich any way, so that should be good enough to make it burn off a little more eh?
went with a 3.75* advance on the timing, a 100rpm idle increase, and a +1 idle torque offset (how much torque is kept at idle, helps with launches), car runs nice and quick now....and as soon as i activate full use for Vag-Com, i will data log the 0-60 times and 1/4 times (+/- .12 on the 1/4mile) but these are taken from the real time data taken from the ECU not track times, they are approximations, may still go with more torque idle offset though, provided that the idle isn't too rough
and does anybody want to use my cobalt as a project car? so long as it doesn't blow up..or get messed up? haha i'm tired of it just sitting in my drive way...

Course when it comes to how tos and things of that nature.. I do a lot of searching on here and google.. cuz im sure my questions have been asked before.
One thing I never found was how to do the airbox mod but finally I found a youtube howto video that shows exactly what all needs to be done to remove the airbox.
