BAD TUNE!!! Need Help ASAP Please
Alright so here is my sob story, i got my car tuned, i have a 2008 cobalt ss/tc i have the hahn intake intercooler charge pipes catless downpipe and 3 in exhaust, i got it tuned and i only dynoed 266whp n 335wtq, not happy with that hp number. i started poping cel for random misfires took it to the dealer and said my coils and plugs were fine, on the dyno i started blowing out smoke from the exhaust and was told by the tuner it was oil, and that i might have a blown turbo. so when i had it at the dealer i asked the service rep to take a look at it, we are good friends, said all was fine. i finally found someone in my area with HPTuners, hes a vette guy but he doesnt do tuning, he let me use his hpt i pulled the tune and got some logs and sent them to a member to take a look at it. he told be the tune was horrible and understood why my number where as bad as they were. issue, i dont have any more money for another tune, spent the borrowed 100 i got to license the car. was told the car is running super rich at 11.0 and has less than stock timing and my maf tables werent even touched considering i have the intake. id be so greatful if someone was able to help me out, i dont want to *** up my car as it is my dd. again the issue i ran into with the member i sent the file to is i have no money to pay for another tune. now i did license the car, so if anyone would have the patients to help me tune the car myself or help me out with a tune(i doubt) id appreciate it so much. if anyone is willing to help me please pm me asap. my other contact info is eric 915-203-4531, eric_solis@hotmail.com.

im talking to him see if we can work something out, he said hed fix it but its kinda dicouraging when another tuner looks at the tune and tells you its really bad.
and yes the tuner was from the forum... ill leave it at that, as much as this sux hes helped me out before and also tuned my 06 ss sc with no issues.

even if its on a different hptuners account, its not the same guy i originally got tuned by, this guy is just helping me out by letting use his HPT
