I would give TopSpeed a call. There are also a few other ones. Check out the vendor and sponsor section (bottom of main page) and it has some more details on different shops and what they can do.

appreciate it man....just looking, cuz stock the new cobalt ss wont go over 260 whp no matter what you do to them except tuning...a tune for that car is expected to add another 30-40 hp..true or not, idk...just what i heard from the cobalt forum

a tune on a boosted car makes a HUGE difference. I am not sure why they say nothing you do to them will make them gain whp... That makes NO sense at all, but a tune is definately a way to free up power.

the ecu is designed to limit hp to 260 which is the stock level...so intake/exhaust/bigger turbo w/e does nothing without the tune...was their explanation

the way they explained it made since, my 2nd hand explanation probably makes me sound like an idiot, but i just dont feel like searching that forum for it again, lol.
