the ls4 tb all depends on air ingestion itself. larger pulley's like the 3.1 don't have a need for it IMHO. i put down 342 on the stock tb and a k&n. if you do not have a 3 inch intake to match the 3 inch inside diameter of the ls4 tb. you don't need it.

It's not a cobalt, but my father and I are working on putting an m62 w/ LSJ intake on a 2.4 LE5 solstice, to later be replaced by a TVS when the driver gets comfortable with more power... here's a link to the thread over on solsticeforum.com: click here

ive read this thread a few times but i figured now i better mark it

Yup, we'll have to hack it right off as well Although, I'll admit it was a bit nerve racking to do to the m62...I'm guessing it will be even more so when we have to hack up the brand new TVS. You know how it goes, nothing is ever just the way you want it.

We're hoping to be able to really surprise some people at track days. The supercharger whine will be a bit of a giveaway, though.

And unlike you cobalt guys, we'll actually be able to put the power to the ground

not entirely I know this for a fact. Good luck to you though

I put power down just fine w/ a TVS thank you

the rotated mounts/solid control arms and some beefy axles will really help us. OTT/Powell FTW.

I won't ask what gear you're referring to...

I don't want to turn this into a FWD vs RWD/AWD discussion. Cobalt's are what you all have, so you all are just trying to do the best with what you have. I can respect that. Plus, their easier to drive. I really like what this guy has to say about FWD: http://farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets10.html

The first line says it all. "Nothing says "triumph of enthusiasm over physics" like a FWD race car."

Go get 'em tigers!

Okay, enough about that.

Lots of people talk about how restrictive the factory intake is at higher boost and power levels. Has anyone put another pressure transducer before/after the laminovas to know the pressure drop across them during a full power run?

I wasn't referring to this....i was referring to actually having traction with a solstice in your supercharger setup......fyi - been there done that - ridden and driven one....traction is no better in that then it is in my redline.

rhit_rs

Check your pm's. I don't want to take this thread anymore off topic, but I want to know the whole story.

Anyway, back to the original topic, is anyone else planning on putting a TVS on a 2.4 LE5?

Driving and stopping would occasionally hit 50* above ambient. I never really have much experience w/ rush hour traffic tho.
