Justacobalt quit trolling. You do realize this is a CRUZE section right? It's here for a reason. Some people may actually care. Believe it or not not everyone shares your Opinion

Just so you know dyno tunes which are the best tunes to get period are more expensive than that.

you do realize that it takes heat energy to spool a turbo right? guess not. jackass.

This thread went the wrong way.

Personally I feel bad for the OP. I learned on my base model Cobalt that this rough lesson of no power without gobs of money. Especially on a car that costs more than a barely used Cobalt SS/TC

I think I spent 1500 for 150 total whp. **** that, never doing it again.

We want to see you in the 14s. It's possible bit it will take work.

Drag radials, weight reduction and a more aggressive tune will put you in the low 15's. Not sure what will get you there.

07ss lets hope u can get a nice day to go to the track hopefully before it rains ! When me and my buddy went to zzp they showed us the stuff they were working on for the cruze it was pretty cool ! An we drove 9 hours since we live in wisconsin we left at 1am just so we could get there right as they open so we can see the stuff they had been working on lol.

Anyway spend the money u earn how u want to dont worrie what others say im going to keep checking ur thread to see ur improvements. And not flaming or **** like that but a cobalt non ss or ss model is an econo car as well. good gas miliage when u drive nice and well comes to life when u beat it like a monster.

Thanks Cole i was just being honest u know. thats like look ok i can affoord a V8 Vantage or a cobalt ss i think id go with a cobalt ss see my point lol its just stupid to down grade someone. Not everyone has the money for an ss version and to be honest that cruze is way nicer looking then a balt if u ask me well his is anway.


thats why alot of people dont go on here anymore becuase someone kid always has something stupid to say

You are cutting 2.2 60 foots and expect to run faster then that? with a good 60 ft like 1.9or a 1.8 it will probably cut a mid to low 15.P.S. you come off as a real douche. you can't count personal labor to the the value of an install. you also think the 2hrs worth of book labor you did is worth 200 an hour. you also shouldnt pretend you are a pro dragster when you do not know that reaction time doesnt effect et. its when the vehicle leaves the beam the clock starts. thats why when you see big hp cars staging and the lights green they still run 8s and 9s not 12s.

And, I'm gonna bite my tongue on this one...15.3 is the best it will do. Big ******* deal. I'm not dumping a penny more into the car, I got it because I like it, it gets good gas mileage, and its safe for my baby thats on the way. For the last time, I just wanted to see the limitations on the car with what I have into the car....DOUCHE

Too bad RT's don't effect your time. You could sit there for a minute, and still run the same time.

Only time you really need a good RT is when you are doing bracket racing and need to catch the other car to keep in your dial-in time.

NO SH*T. Did I say RT's affect ET's? No...I've done a lot of bracket racing, that's where my comment was intended. My bad. I though I clearly implied that he's about .500 late and the 50HP would help make up for that in a race against someone to make up the distance.

Too bad that's not what your comment implied at all. You sounded like he needed the extra 50hp to counteract his RT being slow, as if that time was affecting his overall time. Would have been easier to tell him to just work on his RT, and leave it at that.

Most people on here are never going to bracket race, and have no idea how it works.
