Welcome & congrats, Vaughn!  Nice to see there are still Mechanical Engineers in the world :)  Do you plan to keep the FX4 stock?  Put up some pics of your Cobalt too (including engine bay :D ).

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I keep telling myself it will stay stock, but im waiting for HPTuners to support the EB so i can tune it myself

As far as the Cobalt SS:
Girdled Gen 1 Ecotec 2.0L with all forged internals
Harrop TVS 1320 blower
130 lb/min injectors
Return style fuel system with inline surge tank and bosch 044 and DW300(in tank) fuel pumps
Runs full e85
NX 125 shot of nitrous
Autopower roll cage

Puts down 411whp off nitrous, and close to 575 on the spray. :)

That Cobalt must be one fast machine!  Running 10s in the 1/4?

Welcome Vaughn!!
Glad to have you here on EBPF!
:WELCOME:

That Cobalt looks awesome for sure.  The mod bug will get you for the EB FX4... promise..you need a special puller for that car anyway.  Looking forward to exchanging knowledge, there's a lot here.

BTW I'm originally a Texas boy.  In Austin today. Was born in Buda
