Rpd is badass, even if it is mounted in a retarded manner. They should've put it on the a pillar like the cobalts. Don't even need to dyno your car when it can do this:


And FYI on the brake vaccum assist. It comes standard on 2010 models.

Yep. I've got the Torque App too.

Hi
Just as an update I bought the SS.
On the way home with it, tire pressure sensor for the left rear tire went bad.
Bought it from a Chevy dealer and it's certified pre-owned so I have warranty on it.
Being that it's black, one thing I would like to do is some type of chrome grill inserts.
I did find this:

Going to call them about the lower grill in front of the intercooler.

Thank you.
I see you have the GM turbo up grade. Have you had any problems or mods you had to do after the upgrade?

If you are thinking about it, do it, but make sure they install it correctly.

If you have an extended warranty, do the GMTU and get a Forge Bypass valve (recirculating not atmospheric) ! If you don't have a warranty and aren't going to buy one you could do another tune like Trifecta or something that is cheaper. If you do the GMTU, PM me and we can PM or talk on phone about the details and what to tell the dealer service guys about the install. There's some minor adjustment to the intercooler spacing needed. I love it. 50+ more horses and boat loads I mean boat loads more torque. Our autos were detuned at the factory. Like a whole new car. Now the Trifecta tunes are basically the same power and boost levels on our autos just cheaper and some room for fooling with shift points and stuff like that. That being said, if you aren't upgrading your intercooler or piping right away you'll probably want a warranty and the GMTU over aftermarket. There's a lot to consider going down this road with our autos so do some searches or talk to one of us auto guys. Trust me.
