ok i have some USB C data cables already so hopefully i won't need to buy one and wait.

do you know if someone else tunes the PCM can you download that tune and save it before i start messing? or do i need to get the file from the tuner?

I turned off the codes with hptuner and it still runs with no kr I had the tables set to 26 max but it hit 28. I didn't hear any pinging.

I like hptuners a lot should've gotten it for my cobalt

HPT is great.

the car runs good the only thing that really annoys me is the rattling. it didn't' rattle bad or much at all but with the LTs it rattles the hatch sometimes and the damn license plate rattles like a bitch i have it as tight as i can.

the exhaust also hits the body when i get on it even part throttle... pretty annoying. probably what was setting off the knock sensors.

This kinda makes me wish I woulda bought the trans am I went and looked at instead of a new sled lol. Try putting a small square of carpet behind the license plate. LT's hitting the floor is super common with the ching chong meow ones until you replace motor mounts.

i had to cut part of the subframe so the LTs don't hit anymore.

but the exhaust is hitting in the back lol... pretty annoying but i dont really care that much since the KR doesn't come on anymore

I'd just go ahead and LS swap it. Turbo 4.3 is cool and all, but the LS swap would make more power cheaper.

I would like to get a set for my nova but it would be such a tight fit. My 66 has a tiny wheel well opening. And I sure as fuck don't want it to look like a donk car.

big problem is I can't get much more than a 25" tall tire on it and I don't want 40 series tires. I want a litte more meat.
