I have read on the forum here someone has installed an adjustable vacuum controller to reduce the braking assistance, and some people have also disconnected the vacuum line all together. So power brakes are optional, but removing the booster I haven't seen yet, but I'm interested in this endeavor.

I agree, the brake to throttle pedal spacing needs "enhancing".
I had this Cobalt forum posting about a modified throttle pedal. It's hinged at the floor to allow smoother operation of the throttle and wider to help with heel/toe.
I'm considering to print a wider pedal and test. If it doesnt work well then maybe this mod.

Modding your gas pedal for heel-toe downshift? - Cobalt SS Network
08-10 SS Turbocharged General Discussion - Modding your gas pedal for heel-toe downshift? - I couldn't find any info on this. Has anyone done this or is there a vendor that make brake/gas pedals for the track/auto cross crowd? I have no plan in autocrossing but occasionally I like to heel-toe...

I am going with a Tilton 600 series pedal box in my DF Kit Car...building it all race and believe this will give the most feel and response vice the stock Cobalt assembly

Throttle pedal not wide enough, here is a good solution and provides some 'groovy' factor:

Those Tilton pedals look nice. Bought some bolt on pedals from OMP to clean them up a little and give some adjustability.
Interested to hear how the wilwood M/C goes, would love to get rid of the booster.

Those are sweet, give us an update once they’re installed. Just curious I noticed they also make one with a longer accelerator pedal, why didn’t you choose that set?

I’m currently going back through my wiring to eliminate a crappy ground being an issue, that’s where I would start with yours for sure.
When I get the reduced power message I can not rev the engine at all. No matter what I do it will not increase past idle speed. My problem is very much associated with high G driving. If it’s not wire related it’s being either gas or oil starved is my next guess.
Short answer is I have not solved the problem. Keep me updated if you find a fix.

Great build! If you removed the PSCM (Power Steering Control Module), I would recommend adding a 120 ohm resistor across the HS GMLAN wires where you either jumped them (Pin 1 to 4 and 2 to 5) or at the diagnostic connector. The PSCM is one of two terminating devices on the HS GMLAN network (the other being the ECM). It will work as is, but a resistor is cheap insurance to keep the system working right.
