Im not sure, i do know there not impressive i think like 186 or 196 and the vtech dnt do nething for the new si's atleast that i can tell, i take them down daily out here and thats modded si's nothing big but typical bolt ons. no suprise a stock balt taking down modded si's and im not bragging just ******* on the new hondas they are ****, honda has no performance cars out. other than si. For performance honda is going to ****.
I like the b series and d series, dnt know a lot about the f or h series but b and d and the k series i have some knowledge
what hp gain have u got from ur mods i wanna run a 2.8 pulley with 60's and a header back just curious on hp gains?

ill give my numbers i got stock and tuned and with new setup havent not got it dynoed yet
1st dyno- aem intake Vibrant header dp & 3in cat back 225hp 196tq
2nd dyno- same stuff plus a tune 249hp 209tq i think this are the numbers i havent talked about them in a while haha
but with my current setup im think 270hp but in till i dyno im only guessing haha if i had a full intake my whine would be louder but im cool with it being stock and the aem short pipe and filter replacing the air box

So with an intake and headerback and tune u got 249? **** i need to get the header back and a tune asap. Ya i know a local guy said he could tune a stock one close to 230 well stock meaning just cai sorry
#1728
Ya its much easier to get to the filter that way too, but thats around where i want my car like 265 270 but what tune is it or who tuned it?

i was a lil off haha
yea if u get a good custom tune you will be able to unlock those ponies
my 1st tune was know to keep up with a stage 2 balt (the GM stage 2) so i was happy with it
my current tune is great, u could go more aggressive but im not trying to as its my daily driver
more cooling mods and some porting parts could help run more timing in the tune and allow more air flow for more gains. but i like where its at
the stock catback is 2.25 so its restrictive
but all cobalts get different #s with same or similar mods haha
its all in the tune most cases
#1729
i just looked at my old dyno #" 224.9 hp 192.5 tq and 246hp 209tq

ya for sure thats why i ask everyone what they run and there numbers and who does your custom tune (im assuming yours is custom) and ya i want to let it breathe with a headerback b4 i stage 2 it or run the bigger injectors and smaller pulley and what h/e do you use but for sure mines a dialy driver for now, once the baby comes in november its getting parked and im getting a shitty 4 door and while its parked im gna try to do all this stuff but with a newborn im gna be broke but the balt will have the parts sooner or later
h/e heat exchanger or header exhaust ? haha ill answer both h/e is OTTP
and the header& down pipe is Vibrant 2.5in dp with cat and Vibrant 3in cat back
OTTP just recently released a long tube header its like 700 but no one has dynoed it to show the gains, but its hard to tell as diff mods will work better and vice verse
u have a few options for upping the stage, if u want real power haha piece together a custom stage kit. the gm stage 2 is good but u can get more for your buck with the ottp stage kit or zzp. or just go custom. u will get a canned tune which will either work or not as it will be needed to be dialed in and data-logged. if u have a local guy who tunes maybe that will help ya when the time comes
congrats on the new born too
u will have two babies cobalt and the new born haha

Ya my bad I just saw that ottp h/e after i posted, and im fairly familiar with zzp but not ottp, there parts look great, do you recomend ottp cause i think im gna go with there stage 2 and just peice an exhaust together, and ya my friend has a guy that will tune it for me, he wants me to do it now, he said with just intake i can jump to like 220 or so but i wanna wait for all my mods. When it comes to tunes i stay the hell away im not a great numbers person. Im thinking the 2.8 with the 60# and maybe zzp header and dp. What would removing the cat and adding a resonator do for me? just a thought, but id like to run a custom 2.5 from dp to tip. Anything else besides heat exchanger, im missing or could use to get more power advice is appreciated!!! When i have the money ill need more help with advice especially on a tune, from what i hear that makes all the diff. Ya something similar to what you are running id like 265 to 280 but a daily driver, unless i can park the balt and use it as a weekend car.

umm cat less sounds like poop but adding the additional resonator could help the tone of the exhaust, the 2.5 is a good size, when i got my exhaust i was thinking im just gonna 3in as im not gonna buy 2 exhausts hahaha
people will 3in all the way cat less sound good or bad haha its a 2.0 liter so it can only do so much
for cooling mods there is running a dual pass and option b..... at the moment i cant think what they do haha
im 23 i just have my car and she's my baby, had her for a yr and a few months. im glad u are financially sounded for the new born coming

I think the OTTP stage 2 is good as it is pretty much what i pieced together i think haha and any vendor can be great if the price and quality work for ya

They are actually very high quality, trust me, I am very picky when it comes to parts. Motorsport Tech is what many VDub guys have used for years with no probs.
