i know all about the level 10 upgrade for the tranny, im just concerned with making raw power.
ive got a forge 007 DV and the boost gauge from AWE-tuning. i just wanna find out what else i need to really make some "throw back in the seat" power.
k, forget the srt-4 then. ill worry bout that later.
well, im thinking 230hp 250ft lbs for my car is the goal then, thats up with a srt4. now the think i have to look at is power to weight. everything on my car is stock and i dont have a huge system in it, and i never will. so the weight thing is gonna stay the same im thinkin.
if i can getenough of apower to weight gain against an srt4 i dont think beating a stock one will be a problem. not to mention the cobalt ss and other randoms.

I ate a cobalt last Monday... Felt really good too after I saw his 5 inch muffler tip on his 2 inch exhaust.

In my opinion no, I'd get the chip and see how you do.. who knows. You might like how your car performs and just leave it like that. A turbo will allow you to beat a majority of cars in your class or even on the street. But you won't be beating a SRT-4 unless he ***** up.

It will be a waste of about $300. The chip is about $500 and then if you get the k04 its only$200 to upgrade to the k04 chip/flash.... according to GIAC, but when i talked to auto assets about the upgrade discount they acted like they had no idea. Whatever you do, dont talk to Matt over there. He not only has no product knowledge, hes a complete bore to talk to and shows no enthusiasm about his job whatsoever. Make sure you only deal with Chip over there, hes a good guy.
