Yes it is an aftermarket option you send your car to mallet and they put a 6.0 ls2 in it with upgraded transmission and suspension. Very rare i have only seen one in person and it was a solstice.

Great! They didn't tune me. They just did 3 pulls on the dyno for me. It was my first time putting my car on the dyno. No complaints

Think so? I don't see any evidence of my exhaust holding me back... Though I do have my eyes on the Hahn exhaust.

map is fairly well known in the mazda community in MN and even in Duluth for tuning. They can do htp from what I hear so they could tune a cobalt. They did a fantastic job on a MS3 porting IM and some other parts so they know what they are doing. Pretty good performance shop, they would be one of the only shops I would trust in MN.

Nope but Jordan seemed very knowledgeable and has been tuning for a very long time. His skills are waaaaay beyond my own. I did ask if he has tuned any cobalts before and he said that he has not.

You would not need to buy a wideband. He has one he'll use when tuning on the dyno. Yes I would be confident that he could tune a cobalt. There's nothing special about them as far as tuning goes. It's pretty straight forward actually.

So.. what are your plans anyway? Adding any go-parts or just getting a re-tune?
