he does have pictures of the pistons and they are completly flat across, no inverted dome shape to indicate reduced compression, my stock 2.2L pistons looked just like my reduced compression pistons, just that the inverted dome was slightly deeper on my wiseco's?

Because he wanted to get some money. Everyone knows these things are 10:1. Its all over the forums. You gotta do some research mang! and not copy/paste mine...

no, i didnt have a whole lot of time to mess with all of the different things in the software. I had pretty much about 8 hours on wednesday to mess with the tuning and all i was worred about what the CEL i was having and messed with the fuel portion. when i get back from deployment ill mess with the timing part of it. That would probably explain why when i try to take the car to top speed that i cant reach redline in final gear anymore. the car just wont accelerate past 6100 rpms in final gear. but that could also be because i redused the engine compression and its just not kicking enough power over 5800 rpms. I did notice on the last dyno read i had that my power lost at launch and after 5800 rpms, i gained hp though in the 2800 to 5800 rpm range hit 151 at something like 5790 or so and then it started to drop out
check this thread out if you want to see my set up

Also your bcm is probably advancing your ignition timing because the aftermarket camshafts are making your cam pos sensor send signals to the pcm that are probably telling it that the ign is retarded. So it advances the timing to compensate. Also if when the camshafts were installed, if they were one tooth off on the timing mark it could cause that. I would double check the timing marks just to be sure. to be honest whenever you install aftermarket camshafts on a vehicle not prepped for tuning, you want to install adjustable cam gears just because this kind of thing happens. But then I can't think of any adjustable cam gears for a chain-driven motor...

Just letting you guys know on the 30th ill have the AEM FIC and by that weekend it should be installed and working with my current turbo. I will then be taking it off and using it with the procharger once my buddy feeds me the cashola =P
Ill do a writeup on it or how to. Thats if i get enough interest in it... I already have a 3+ page PDF i made here at work on making the install specific to the 05-06 Cobalt. I have no problem sharing it with everyone. I basically converted their basic install pdf into a 05-06 Cobalt specific installation manual that a 10yr old could do. So no more whining about a complicated install for you guys!
If possible halfcent, would you be able to assist me in the writeup. English isnt my best subject and I really dont enjoy writing. Ill have pics, vids, datalogs and dynos for it as well. Nothing half assed.

I'm old school
I suppose. It's hard to write about a product that you aren't actually there to review. But since we are all looking for something that has to do with that AEM unit, something is better then nothing.

Well ill write it and everything, but i may have some gramatical errors like spelling and small things. I know it must be reviewed anyway before it becomes a how to. Ill read more up on that when the time comes.
I just wish i could do it this weekend, but the unit wont be in...

So if someone does buy a ProCharger kit and AEM then make it a package deall and full write up...etc i think that is probably the most important part and its performance...
nothing more i hate when i read a thread and 10 different guys have 10 different turbo kits and each using a different tuning device...etc thens its a total crap shoot and you got 10 different tuning problems and 10 different install problems,,,etc
just my 2 cents...i heard someone say they paid $460.00 for the AEM? Where was it purchased from?

Haha, I just emailed HPTuners last night, figuring showing some more support would help. What they said is, "If we ever do support them it probably won't be for a while, we've already got a huge workload in front of us." So that sounds promising...

My first plan of attack is running 32lb injectors in the car with 8psi. Ill then buy 50 or 60's and run the car at about 18psi and tune for that. Then ill put the procharger on and have a couple different tunes for it. One being 65lbers with about 18-20psi on the procharger. That ones not going to be my DD setup because i doubt the tranny can handle the power for a long period of time.

So this way when you have vacuum the injectors won't have as much fuel pressure so the fuel injectors are not so stressed out trying to pulse so quickly.
Then at higher KPA values the fuel pressure can increase and then yay more fuel.
its just pulls the stress off the injectors and the injector drivers.
just my .02
doublepost: also don't make your goals off PSI levels, that's just a pissing contest.
Do it off HP goals that way you know what injectors to get for the desired HP goals...etc

good advice. the RL guys have been trying to do a return style fuel system for a while now due to their cyl 4 lean issue... nobody's come up w/ a nice solution as of yet. alphajaguar was heading it up last i knew, but it kinda died off.
