SCT Rides to the rescue of 2.2 owners!
That's right folks, the 2005-2007 Chevy Cobalt 2.2L L61 cars with the E16 ECM is FINALLY going to be getting some tuning! SCT was contracted by Garrett to create a packaged flash tune for their upcoming turbo kit release in the first quarter of 2007. As a result, SCT will also be able to incorporate the ECM hack into their regular custom tuning software called "Advantage 3.0".
Advantage work exactly like HP Tuners does. But they have one additional option that is pretty cool. Once a shop gets a custom tune made for your vehicle, they don't just flash your car and send you on your way. They upload the tune into their device called the LiveWire. It can store up to 3 different tunes, so say a stock tune, your boosted road tune, and your race tune. Then you can switch between those tunes, on the fly, in your car, whenever you want! On top of that, the LiveWire is an OBD2 device with analog inputs, datalogging, and real time data display! It's just too damn cool.
Now I haven't confirmed yet, but I believe you can buy the Advantage software package for yourself as well, just like you could buy the full the HP Tuner software package. Then you can do your own tuning outside of the shop whenever you wanted.

Then I went to my 1967 Websters unabridged 5 inch thick dictionary and it has the "J".

Woohoo for 2.2! Edit: If this turns out to be true, only dealers, I'll definitely be looking into becoming one, depending on cost.
