the disclaimer > HPT noob here very limited FI tuning knowledge other than some SAFC stuff.
So, I'm building my 09 cobalt ss for STX class in autocross. This allows tuning to the ECU. But, not to alter the boost. With the allowed mods I can do an intake and full exhaust. I guess I can adjust,rev limiter, ignition timing, cam timing to help spool a little quicker. As I understand it the way you guys get around the "learn down" is my adjusting the desired airload, and adjusting the desired airload would increase boost.
"Boost changes indirectly resulting from
allowed modifications are permissible, but directly altering or
modifying the boost or turbo controls, either mechanically or
electronically, is strictly prohibited."
So, there's my delema. Is it worth tuning at all without increasing boost? Ideas? comments?
