Let me know when it is! The Cobalt is ready to spank some SS trucks!!!

Congrats to your son for making it to the finals. Your turck turns very consistant ET's at those levels. I am looking forward to seeing the higher boost pulley numbers as I know what that truck feels like at 24lbs of boost!

Your new tune files were sent today. I expect the 10.99 text this evening... LOL!

So when is the SSS meet at the range? We have a few nice ones in my area of PA! ...considering an M&P shield (9mm) myself. I shoot .45 but the gun is too big to carry IMO.

Well said.

Have fun guys! Was planning on driving out for the day however will be at the beach with the family. Hope to see lots of pictures! (bikini first, then trucks/cars please!).

...waiting for the file upload In the mean time, do you ALWAYS see this retard at that specific cell(s) ?

I have stock manifolds with the heat shields.

Excellent. Yep, Zippy will make a few tweeks and you should be fine. Mail tuning cams is an art in itself.

Did I miss the additional pics and vid? Glad it got done. How do you like the cam Jim?

Glad you had fun guys! I am sure it was crowded.

2.24 has been just fine for me Joe! Been using it for a few weeks now.

Damn, I would have let it go for $75! Exactly. I mated the converter to the FP once installed and measured the depth. The converter bolts I had used with my factory FP were too short IMHO (only got about 1-2 thread engagement). I looked up ARP and found they offered 2 different lengths. From what I recall, I used the longer ones so I can have more bite into the converter pads. I double checked the depth and the length of the converter bolts from ARP and they were perfect (didn't bottom out and had several turns before tight). BTW, I use red Loctite on the converter bolts...some do, some don't. From the pictures of your FP, I can't tell if it is painted or not. Mine was powdercoated from the factory. If you do have paint or powdercoat, I recommend lightly sanding down the areas where the converter mates to the FP and the FP mates to the engine. I have heard stories from the LS1 crowd where the paint disintegrated under the mounting areas and caused the bolts to become loose. Regardless, I sanded mine before install and when I tore her down 2 years+ later, it was as tight as the day I installed it. Good luck! You have some quality pieces there!!!

Guys, Version 2.24 is now out that has been verified to be a stable version and suitable for the public. Time to download the newest version and get rid of the beta 2.23. Depending on what revision of the beta version you are using, there were some bugs. Log into your HPT account and go to the "Customer Center". You should see the download link for the 2.24. It has been out for about 3 weeks now. Also, there is no need to E-mail support for beta versions. The newest revisions will be immediately available for download in your "Customer Center".

You will be close to overspinning the TVS 2300 at those boost levels which will wreck the blower bearings (already been there with a friend). This will require an overdriven crank pulley, jackshaft style 2300 with cog pulley upgrade, and an 8-rib pulley set-up (10 preferred).

Looking forward to seeing the build! I estimate you will need 1200-1300HP at the wheels to comfortably be in the 9's @ 140MPH trap speed (weighing in at the typical 5500# loaded SS weight). Suspension and gearing will play a big part as well. Turbo is the way to go IMHO!

Yes, I ran the same FP as Brad. Heavy duty, high quality piece but does have some weight to it. BTW, if you want mine, I have it in the garage with 3 ARP converter bolts. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, clean. Send PM if you are interested.

Looking beautiful! Clean!!!!

BigStuff3 is the cat's ass for individual cylinder tuning. "Sequential fuel control for up to 16 cylinders Individual cylinder fuel and spark control Smart and dumb Coil-on-Plug capable Injector phasing, at the start and end of injection events Configurable Load & RPM axes" As for running dual widebands...go for it.

That is about what I have seen in the past as well...depending on cam choice and RPM at shift point.

It sucks de-modding. SOOOO unmotivating. Good luck with the parts sale, I am sure you will have no trouble moving the good stuff.

Hood and wheels - $125. I will pick them up this weekend!

If you want to do the Car style manifold, you can see what I did in my build link. Link is in my signature below. I used a FAST 92 and did a bunch of customizing to make it work. The short runners of the car manifold will improve up top horsepower but at the expense of a bit of low end TQ (generally). If you are interested, I have all the pulleys, idler pulley relocation bracket, modified PS bracket and such in my garage. I will let it go CHEAP.

Where did you tap the fuel line for the for the fuel solenoid? You should have no issues with fuel pressure with you mods and shot size.

Sounds like dealing with Dodge on our minivan. Bought new - brakes were gone by 12k. I yelled at the wife for "beating on it" and did a brake job with "hi performance aftermarket parts". The new pads and rotors were gone by 26k. TSB came out, I complained to the dealership and since I replaced the worn brakes myself, there was nothing they could do so I paid for a brake job at the dealership. The replacement brakes (done by the dealership) were gone by 40k. I figure I am in the clear to have them replaced at thier cost only to find out I was out of the warrenty mileage and was told to FO. My suggestion - bitch and moan to anyone that is available and do it early and often. There is a customer satisfaction department GM has that should be notified as well...as many times as possible.
