I think it got lost on the 'other' forum so here it is. KR is gone FINALLY! Seafoam must have gotten rid of Vinces' carbon buildup.
Seeing 24-25 lbs boost with the .030 pill in there tapering down after 5300 or so to 19 psi @ 6800 rpm.
60-100 was around 5.1 sec. 3-4 shift at 6750 rpm. Lots of clutch slip in 3rd or the time would have been better.
Once again, thanks for all the help T2!

Put a clutch in the car, you won't regret it.
Did mine 3 sheets to the wind in a day. EDIT: Actually 2 days I guess... I got sleepy and quit early.
Planning one in the spring if things work out. Never did a FWD clutch though, just the old Malibu SS years ago. I don't know if I could do it or not.

Its honestly not a big deal. Have you seen those old LSJ performance books GM put out? In one of them they have them doing the clutch on a Ion Redline. There are a couple tricks that make it an even easier job. IE: Don't remove the steering rack from the car, just unbolt it from the subframe.
80% of the job is removing the subframe from the car really.
The only other pain (or I thought) was getting the fuse box out to reach the bolts on top of the transmission.
More than anything I don't trust anyone else to work on my cars. I hate how people impact bolts back on and such. I don't trust people to put my cars on lifts properly either. Seems like I always end up with a caved in floor pan from dummies. Maybe theres a mature Cobalt/Ion owner in your area that would help you, but most of those kids I wouldnt want near my house/car either... so I would totally understand if you farmed out the work
What clutch are you thinking of going with? I put the Spec 3+ in mine and... considering putting a hypersingle in. The Spec chatters pretty bad on my car in stop & go driving, which I expected.
I'm waiting to see what Matt comes up with, if anything or prob the Exedy Hypersingle. We'll see in the spring. I'm considering a road trip to get it done by Matt's group.

You guys have it easy on the clutch swaps. In a kappa it takes 10+ hours of labor, if you've done it before.
Geez, you'd think a RWD platform would be easier.
Very nice! Would be nice if mine would do that
