It won't be doing the correct thing, because the aftermarket intakes move the maf from it's current location on the stock intake and the ecu in the LNF is so touchy that the short term and long term fuel trims begin to get skewed.

itll have plenty of "****" before the end of the year just liek it was stated before g5 is pretty much a cobalt and the parts are exchangable i plan to boost and im tuned for now

I think you took that the wrong way I was aiming it at the OP for making fun of G5's power.

Yeah, wasn't aimed at you. People rag on all cars though. I love the hood on your car, and Summit White FTW!

Factory there is no comparison between a G5 and an lnf SS, so they really aren't equal. With that said your's looks very good. You haven't said anything about the performance.

I only skimmed over the first page of your thread, but here are my rims. They are Enkei Falcon's, some people like 'em, some don't. They are some of the few rims that work with our Balts. What matters is what you like! I don't care about lowering the car either, I love the way it handles the way she sits.

well there is plenty of comparision actually duh but you must mean power of course. and iv mentioned it like 3 times now that i only have injen cai and trifecta tune. but iv got a few parts started to plan my sc build. honestly i got the g5 cause i didnt wanna be jsut another balt. and i love the kidneys and the rear compared to the balts. other than that i like the boosted balts i mean mine pretty much looks like one with the lips and tc rims and when i started all my mods it was more about looks as you can see and now its all performance pretty much

Like I said your car looks great and is not hard to make fast. All I am saying is I am not a huge fan of a stock g5.

Well my orignal post that sparked your interest was that I didn't have much respect for g5's. You have made some good mods and yours looks nothing like a stock g5. Sounds like you have some good ideas for performance to get the ***** up to where the looks are.

The basic concept behind sports cars is speed. Please explain to me how his g5 is better than my SS.

He isnt being a douche, he pretty much just stated that stock g5's are slow... Which is true.

Who's sensitive? I'm not. You asked for an opinion, and then didn't want to hear it because someone has a G5.

Haha I didn't mean to offend anyone. I have stated facts throughout this entire post. From what I have gathered it seems my rims aren't popular. I already gathered that. That is why we moved on to talking about how to get more performance on an LNF.

OP, I know you are new to the site, but asking members what they think is probably not a good idea. That question always seems to stir up arguments. Some people will tell you exactly what they think....bluntly.

This question still remains. If I get a trifecta tune can it be returned to GM stage 1, and not detected by a GM dealership?
