Thats how most BMW 335s are tuned as well.
the popular hand held is superchips.
but it has average reviews since it does make power but its supposedly runs rich (i am no tuner but thats what the say at the cobalt site)

plus with the availability of aftermarket tunes running under $400, thats the way to go if you are going to risk your warranty.
If the dealer wants to find the tune, regardless of a re-flash to stock....they will.
so might as well go full out pro tune or stick with GM and keep your warranty.

id love 300+hp tune only at the touch of a button, but with me averaging 18k miles a year, I will settle for a warrantied, lil 13 second DD

some which can be turned on/off with a button of your choice.
very tempting.
The Benefit would be the 3 bar maps and then tossing HP Tuner on top, makes for one hell of a 4 banger. All I need now is to get it dynoed HP tuned.

Sure, but I wasn't referring to traps specifically.
