NWAE read up from your post

I wont suport hptuners after them bold face saying they wouldnt tune us but then saying later on they basically have the 07 tuning done but will get to it when they have more time from there other cars.. if its basically done a week worth of work at best should of finished it..

If a company can crack the 2.4 tune in a week like some of these companies the 2.2 cant be much harder.. Its all a matter of encryption and writing a new code, just depends on which code they are messing with..

the owner does not own a cobalt, Dan owns a soltice...and who is the other?? I had mentioned in a thread that I will be working with their tuning guy, Vince from trifecta tuning on trying to get the 2.2l tune cracked...but i did not hear about this...I know they have a 2.4 handheld tune and mentioned someone out of town working on this with them...but as to date i have not heard anything about a 2.2 tuner...link to thread on this so i can see...i am somewhat skeptical on what is being discussed...

Don't be skeptical, you're one of the locals and I have another owner in Burien who volunteered. Give me a ring and we'll get the ball rolling. I'll put you in direct contact with Vince and you guys can come on down here to the shop. He can use your car for tuning and I can look at doing a 2.2 header.

Talk to you soon.

Also, I have a few requests to start another thread for the 2.2 Beta testing.
Doing that now in the vendors section.
Thanks guys.

that was the same with me!! i wrecked my last cobalt and so i needed a car fast. at this time i couldn't even get a sport there were none to be found so we pushed a loaded LT out of the show room with 19km on it and i took that one. when i signed the papers it was just as much as the ss so dont think that just because we dont have the ss does not make us poor!!!

BTW that old cobalt of mine ran a 12.3 in 1/4. Never put it on the dino but I must have been somewhere in the 380~400hp range.
