How's traveling been going bro? Every week I see you partying up in Vegas! 
Just text me man, you gots my number! We should meet up in person and talk since I have only seen you out this summer ONCE and I haven't even seen the damn bmw, and you gotta show me the 1 series too! And I can meet hugger too.
Third is sadly going to be a higher roll
, on the stock trans like 60ish, hell, MAYBE 50, its been a while since I was on a 3.83. a 40 even with wheel spin shouldn't be too bad though either.
Sure I can try to convince him of some stuff.
There are some great options coming out and currently on a market that will keep him nice and reliable.

Not bad gents!
I can honestly say that 45mph and 3rd gear is not beneficial to Jay at all but I understand why you guys were trying to take the variables out of the equation. Best thing to do IMO would be to run from 60-120ish starting in 3rd and having Jay NLS 3-4
Jay could also start higher up in 2nd gear, say 50mph and see if that helps with traction? Either way, it's definitely running harder than GMS1.
Car moves out Will! Liking that liquid gold, eh?
Jay, you need to get some damn tires man! And some E....

The bimmer has never been meaner than when it's on e85 thats for sure. Sounds like a plan doing 60-120mph in 3rd. Is it ok to NLS with alot ot the torque management disabled? We weren't all that sure. I'd imagine it would be worse on the drivetrain to do it 1-2 or even 2-3.
We've really tamed the mid-range spike on Jay's car and I don't think it would hurt anything since he's running the stock clutch still but I definitely wouldn't recommend running around and NLS'ing all the time, especially not 1-2.
NLS only for when it's necessary

What kind of timing are you running in that beast through the mid-range? It runs a whole hell of a lot harder than the first encounter for you and Jay! Curious to know what your boost peaks at and what you carry to redline?

I did a 45 roll in 3rd gear on time and that didnt work out to well in my favor. 60 in 3rd. Thats the good stuff
Stock to gms1 was night and day...but gms1 to hptune was night and day again. I personally dont think and I know i cant destroy all but I went from gms1 getting raped by my buddies 5.0 to a hptune that had me pulling on his 5.0 and so that was ZOMGWTFFBBQHP enough for me. Huge difference
a 335I with an E tune ALONE is no freaking joke more bolt on's make it respond even better! And the fact that's it's AWD means i think it would most def rape the cobalt off the line at the strip while the balt is in spin city, good to see the difference in the tunes was not really that much as both car's got pulled on pretty hard! Maybe now people sill stop thinking an HPtune is a ZOMGWTFFBBQHP tune that will destroy all others! But i seriously doubt it!

stock they come in with over 360bhp, like i said tuned and on nitrous he was at 420+ and weighs the same as I do. I also had a passenger he didnt. his car has run high 11's all day long and is trapping around 125. So out of the bmw's ive ran, and ive run all kinds including your model he is by far the fastest. The balt doing 45 in third is a snail re- run him in second and even with his minimal mods u will be surprised

This wasn't lets see who's faster race. It was a comparison between tunes in a controlled run. I understand the concept. But a wrong gear is a wrong gear regardless of tune. Call me crazy but... I feel no difference bogging my car off the line with the trifecta tune over the stock one. The car still pulls slow as ****. Now i prolly should stop drinking in the morning. And i should stop taking that big bang show so seriously, but im feeling smart today. And I think im right.

lol, well if the cobalt guys aren't going to play nice how about we play who can hit the best 60' on stock rubber?
Hugger if you have the time I'd look into scoring a cheap pcm. Worst case scanario is that it doesn't work and you'll have to swap back, but even then it should work A-OK.
