What ballpark do YOU think my 2.2 will be in after I get the mods installed?
So far I have:
AEM Cold Air Intake
Magnaflow full catback exhaust
Coming Monday:
Pacesetter ceramic headers
Hyper voltage GT system
ECU/ECM and Tranny tune

Thats what I thought too, but Nelson performance has a crack on the 2.2s. Their the only place in the country that can do it, thats why it ain't cheap. Up untill today I thought nobody could tune the 2.2 but apparently they can, their one of the best in the country and have already done a couple of custom tunes on other 2.2s. Plus the voltage GT system is showing wheel gains of 15hp and 16tq according to a dynojet. Now lets add that to 10hp from the intake, 10 for the exhaust, 10 for the headers, and 20ish for the tune. 120 hp to the wheels stock, plus 65 is 185.

do it.
Are you auto or manual. Autos have no tuning available. At all. So far from what I've seen the only tuning available to the 2.2s is a/f related. No ign timing, no rev limit set, etc.
Also take advertised gains with a grain of salt. It's too easy to alter settings on the dyno or forget to mention other modifications used to acheive those gains.

Dude I know I was on the same boat, I told them over and over that there isn't any, but they kept saying there was, they have an automatic transmission tune for the 2005-06 cobalts, they change the shift points by reflashing the tranny computer. I didn't get the details about the ecu/ecm reflash but when I asked if they could remove the govenor and change a/f ratio they said yes. I'm going to get full details tomorrow when I call em back.

I really don't see how tuning the a/f ratio has anything to do with the tcm... Personally I think they're playin you for your money. I'd be very careful in what services you ask them for.
Also be careful where you have them set your shift points. The last thing you need is to have a shift point past your rev limiter.

I will even drive out there to pick up my money when I win!!! Maybe I should tell you I am coming out there anyway the first of next year to visit family, I grew up in Lewisville, so you dont think I am crazy enough to drive over 1200 miles just for $50.
