General section would be fine.
Hey guys and gals, name is Jim. I was on this site about 6/7 years ago. My wife met someone who's husband is on here (not sure his username) so I was told I should join up.
Currently own a 2007 Trailblazer SS with just an intake and a 2007 base model cobalt with t3/t4 turbo setup on 10psi and E85.
2012 Cruze ECO M6 - Crystal Red- Just a little more boost than stock!
2001 Camaro SS - Rallye Red - In process.
the L61 and boost have have a love hate relationshp Lol. It needs a forged rotating assembly. Im still on stock rods and pistons, was running 15psi and the corn helped it live for a while then it let go. No idea the power level but i pulled a 115mph trap 14.7 ET and a 3.0 60' spinning the whole track. Thing hauled for being a little 2.2
115 mph holy shit! Takes a 430hp to the wheel v8 car to right on top of that trap speed haha. I had a saturn with an L61 I debated boosting but figured that it probably would become a major liability at that point haha ESP seeing it was an auto too
What did you do for tuning? There was very little support for L61 cobalts and not sure even HP tuners covers them yet? LSJ and LNF no problem though, even the LE5 2.4 they handle.

Trifecta tuning is the name of the place he has his own software he created and tunes with. The 07+ L61 then the 09-10 LAP have the E37 ECM and HPT just recently supported it. The 05-06 L61 has no support and will never according to HPT. It needs a better tune, the tune its on is mediocre at best but i need to take care of some demons first that are plaguing the car.
ha yeah i tried a Trifecta tune in my Cruze (E67) too because they were the only supporters initially too. Was less than impressed and the quirks aggravated the shit out of me too as i drive the car everyday! HPT since supported them, i built my own tune and its worlds better now. Wonder if EFI live supports L61 Cobalt's currently? might be best to just buy that software and begin to re-work it. HPT claims for such small numbers they didn't want to piss away the effort to crack the code, much like the Bosch ECM used in stuff like V6 Camaro's and the DI 2.4L's. But yet they figured out the Bosch ECM used in the LNF's and Duramax apps though haha. Happy birthday BTW!.

Well i am lucky enough to have a 07 L61 so I have the E37 that HPT supports. A buddy of mine has an 05 L61 so he is shit out of luck unless EFI Live supports it which i dont think it does. He is setup with the M62 off the SS/SC on a 3.1 pulley and a pig rich trifecta tune. There is someone coming up with a opensource tuning software but that could be a year or more out yet, hes doing it in his free time. Thanks for the birthday wishes. Another year older i guess lol.

Hello everyone, I just joined the BCM group. My name is Mac, I'm a former Law Enforcement Officer working private sector in the greater Milwaukee area.

Thanks for having me!
