Yeah, best of luck to everybody. We can all agree that whoever gets picked will help all 2.2's in the long run. I hope they pick one of us w/ SAI, just because we need parts that will satisfy our performance needs without the removal of a big element in the car.
NOTE: OrngBalt, I followed someones guide on how to remove the SAI. I took all the information to my dealer (they all know me there and I'm friends with pretty much everyone there) they told me any modification to the SAI is illegal. So technically the dealerships that were listed on the official SAI removal places, can get in trouble with the law because they are messing with emissions. Even though I don't see how removing a pump is illegal, oh well.
THATS WHY WE NEED HEADERS, DP, etc FOR SAI!!

Personally I feel some yes/no questions can't give you the scope needed to find someone to test and document a new aftermarket product. Gathering this is likely to test a performance part you'll want someone to test it that not only tests but also understands what it is that their testing. For this reason I'm expressing interest in testing whatever it is because I have automotive and mechanical experience as well as a scientific and research background. I have access to a machine shop, industrial mechanic and domestic mechanics shop. Our privately owned shop specializes in vehcile restoration as well as fabrication.
We work with:
-antiques
-muscle
-domestics
-imports
Our shop is locally recognized as one of the best in Nova Scotia for vehicle restoration and we have had a long time love/hate relationship with domestics including all GM Products.I've been a J-Body driver for 7 years and have tested previous performance parts for GM cars.
Let me test it plz!!!!!
I drive a 2.2L because I restored it from the bone yard with my bare hands (and an array of tools):

i doubt it is...theyre looking for an 06-07 auto...which have 2 different ECMs, and a turbo kit for the 06 would run on an 05, so they would ask for any auto 2.2's if it was a turbo kit....if you really want to try and guess...start thinking of things that auto 2.2's have in the 06 and 07 models that the 05 models dont have

true it's all just speculation, but I'm just as curious as anyone else and can't help but let my imagination wander

well if I was developing some kind of kit for the 2.2 autos... I wouldn't half ass it and just make it available for 05-06s or just for 07+, I'd want to be able to market to all of them. they probably want 06/07 models for testing because that's what the majority drives.

I was saying that they WEREN'T trying to half ass it and that they are trying to make whatever they're developing to all the cobalts intstead of one make of it. Go back and read the post.

it's cool. I respect anyone that pioneers new parts for our cars, vendor or not. God knows we need all the aftermarket support we can get.
