Anymore Details on this Racer Package.

 

The racer package is not available for the Cobalt. SCT replied to that on their forum. There is currently nothing new to report. They show a release of first quarter 07, so before the end of March.

 

So let me get this straight, you would have to take it to a shop to get dyno tuned every time you want to make a change, and then you can only have 3 tunes to flash at any given time?

 

You make it sound like it's some kind of horrible deal.

No, you don't have to dyno it with every change. A shop can make changes to your flash program without necessarily dynoing each time.

Yes, you can hold only 3 tunes at once. Which the last time I checked is better then the one single tune the car hold without it.

I guess I don't understand your complaint. If you are comparing it to HP Tuners, then you would have the ability to change things yourself instead of having to go to a shop. But that's really the only problem I see. And as it is, once you have a car built, how often do you want to change the tune around?

 

If you make a mod and don't tune it by hand on either the road or a dyno, your asking for trouble. And I NEVER just stop working on a car. My redline will be flashed another 100 times within the year. I don't want to be working on my L61 project, just to have it sit untuned for a while until it's at a point that it won't be modified any more and I will shell out for a tune, because it will never be done. It will constantly be evolving and getting better, so I would be forced to take it to a shop EVERY time to make changes. Sure it's better than nothing, but still a royal pain in the ass.

 

Okay, then based on that argument, you WANT to dyno tune it each time you change it. So now you are bringing the car to the shop anyway (unless you own your own dyno, in which case you have a lot of free money space to kill). So I still don't see the problem. You're there, at the shop, dynoing, and you can then update your flash at the same time.

 

if i were to get a set of stage 3 cams, is there a way to make them run for like daily driving and then a setting for them to run for spirited driving/racing? will the engine knock or anything if its set for daily driving? thanks

 

Well, with regard to what SCT can offer you, you could switch between tunes at the push of a button. However, a "Stage 3" cam (remember that the word "stage" really doesn't mean anything) sounds like a racing cam, which will probably not be very street friendly at all.

For the price of the cam, you could also get GMPP adjustable cam gears and have a lot more control, and be streetable.

Did you know the cam profiles of the LSJ and L61 identical? The only thing different is the timing, which you can obtain with adjustable gears.

 

o well i found it on this website. http://www.jbodyperformance.com/new/...catName=JP0288 and they say you dont need any tuning for the "stage 3" but its recomended. just wondering if the eninge can handle that power and be reliable for every day driving. if not what cam do you suggest i get instead? seems to me you know more about this than i do. just wondering if the "stage 3" cam can be reliable for everyday driving and if not what other mods would you need to upgrade on ur engine.?

and no i didnt know about those adjustable cam gears being the same on the LSJ and L61

 

Cams are HIGHLY dependant on the vehicles use. Forced induction would be completely different then Normally Aspirated. I can already tell you are wanting street use, which means emmisions legal. What else do you want to do?

 

i just wanna go intake, exhaust (i have the gmpp performance catback already) and the stage 3 cams with a tune to make the most power out of them.

 

Becuase you don;t even have the option to street tune or track tune. Dynos are fine for hitting good peaks, but not so good for replicating real world scenarios. Also, if you make minor changes, you can adjust them with out shelling out cash for tuning. And I also don't have shops install things, so I am not going to be there anyways.

I do have access to a dyno pretty damn cheap though Just a pain in the ass to have to be at a shop with SCT and a dyno to make any changes.

 

says who?
250whp = 294 crank (assume 15% dt loss). wouldn't last long. I'd shoot for 265 crank HP (~225whp w/ 15% dt loss) then upgrade your internals.
