View Full Version : Raced my t/c at the track
Darkfuzion 07-20-2008, 03:35 AM my bone stock 08 ss t/c had its first passes at the track. the best run i made was a 14.697 at 99.58 mph. i was a little mad because its says it can run a 14.0 but i had traction problems cuz the track wasn't prepped properly. and i was a little nicer on it shifting through the gears. if i was to run again on a good track i bet it could run a 14.2, all in all i was pretty happy i one all my races. and btw there have been people that think launch controll dosent work as well a launching ur self well ur wronghttp://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg191/Darkfuzion24/stuff001.jpghttp://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg191/Darkfuzion24/stuff002.jpg

stage2 07-20-2008, 03:40 AM 60ft post a slip plz
zay52790 07-20-2008, 03:58 AM didnt hahn run something in the low thirteens on a stock t/c?
PimpLay2 07-20-2008, 04:00 AM I ran a 14.27 in my stock TC
didnt hahn run something in the low thirteens on a stock t/c?
yes but they had a tune.. not stock
2fastSS 07-20-2008, 04:03 AM Im wondering if people will actually start to see how the tc's top end and ss/sc's top end have a dramatic difference once stage 2 is installed....
The tc will be a monster i cant wait to run one in the near future with my future setup in my ek hatch....
cobaltssTH 07-20-2008, 04:16 AM i believe the hahn ss/tc ran like a 13.8 or .9
stage2 07-20-2008, 04:21 AM ur 60ft is bad same as my lol
my ss/sc ran stock
60ft 2.4
14.90@98
FASTL61 07-20-2008, 04:22 AM hahn ran 13.20's all night sweet suzy woo hoo
stage2 07-20-2008, 04:25 AM hahn ran 13.20's all night sweet suzy woo hoo
we know and that was with a tune and cat back not stock

stage2 07-20-2008, 04:34 AM my bone stock 08 ss t/c had its first passes at the track. the best run i made was a 14.697 at 99.58 mph. i was a little mad because its says it can run a 14.0 but i had traction problems cuz the track wasn't prepped properly. and i was a little nicer on it shifting through the gears. if i was to run again on a good track i bet it could run a 14.2, all in all i was pretty happy i one all my races. and btw there have been people that think launch controll dosent work as well a launching ur self well ur wrong
so ur saying that launching control works?
2.4 60ft :nono:
Super_SS 07-20-2008, 07:05 AM that is some crazy shit
with a 104 trap on 21-22psi...:bye:
rukkee 07-20-2008, 07:31 AM so ur saying that launching control works?
2.4 60ft :nono:
Hahah i was thinking the same thing . People have 60 footed much better with SS/SC's than 2.4 without it.
USMCFieldMP 07-20-2008, 07:44 AM and btw there have been people that think launch controll dosent work as well a launching ur self well ur wrong
That's because you don't know how to drive it properly.
Jesse_Chouinard 07-20-2008, 09:02 AM Yep....must be driver error brcause I usually have a 60 ft of 2.30 and get through the 1/4 mile in 14.64 at 100-102mph and my SS/SC is stock. After some more practice and getting used to your car I am sure it will drop down some more....
ralliartist 07-20-2008, 09:07 AM and this is in the wrong section. Put it in the drag section.
but that's sounds about what an average joe would run in a ss/tc. Doesn't surprise me at all.
and hahn's car was far from stock.

Tune and cat back is not far from stock...:p:
2fastSS 07-20-2008, 10:58 AM lol 22 psi is far from stock my friend... it was a boost controller, exhaust, and a tune... That tune wasnt just a 200-300 tune.. Go look it up its gonna cost the average joe for just that tune 1000 dollars or even more

Yeah the tune is expensive, I never knew price made things from going from 2 mods to hellaciously modded...and turns the boost up to 21-23 lbs.
No MBC.
Tune and cat-back is a tune and a cat-back whether it costs 32098432 dollars or roughly 1600
MapOfTaziFoSho 07-20-2008, 11:43 AM Yeah, this guy needs some driving lessons and/or a better track.

22+psi is not stock. Gaining any control over this car's ecu is leaving stock grounds.
If he's not far from stock, then neither am I.
At least I'm still on the stock pulley, stock boost, stock intake, stock exhaust.

not taking anything away from the tc. 290 whp ,come on how much whp would the ss/sc make if it had a tune and 21 to 23 lbs of boost and 3'' exhaust,i think the ss/sc would make at least the same whp. what do you guys think?
hatrickstu 07-20-2008, 01:54 PM not taking anything away from the tc. 290 whp ,come on how much whp would the ss/sc make if it had a tune and 21 to 23 lbs of boost and 3'' exhaust,i think the ss/sc would make at least the same whp. what do you guys think?
thats not the point, do you know how much money it takes to get a blown ss to run well on that much boost?

tune and a catback on this car, can be pretty heavily modded.
put it this way....21-23psi, is more boost than a 2.5 pully on an ss/sc
so, i guess im runnin less than a tune and a catback :)
scott allen 07-20-2008, 01:57 PM cooling mods,60s, tune might still be cheaper than that 1000.00 tune.
hatrickstu 07-20-2008, 01:58 PM cooling mods,60s, tune might still be cheaper than that 1000.00 tune.
right because they has gotten TONS of people to run low 13's here
an0malous 07-20-2008, 01:59 PM hahns driving is not a good indicator stu.
i garuntee you most of the people who get that tune + catback would be high 13s all day.

if that. LOL. Probably still spin to much and run 14.0's, haha.:lol:

im with you too... i think I would be in mid 13's with the tune... i have been having decent launches lately and i think running a 14.27 with 2 passengers thats pretty good... what they say every 100lbs is a 1/10 of a second?

Apples to oranges though.
You are running(correct me if I am wrong now):
Larger injectors
Smaller pulley
Catback
Tune
Ultimately boost is not the sole measuring factor of horsepower.
Take an SS/TC up to your altitude and I bet it will make more boost...because the ECM says so. Some people are boosting 20psi stock, and others are boosting 15-15.5
Really we don't know what the BSR tune is doing to...besides turning boost up and raising the rev limit in first and second.
an0malous 07-20-2008, 04:52 PM larger injectors
smaller pully
tune
= tune on LNF.
steddy2112 07-20-2008, 05:25 PM larger injectors

tune
= tune on LNF.
I see how you are looking at it, but to me a tune is a tune.
I mean there is a mod where you cut the wastegate arm to get more boost too.
scott allen 07-20-2008, 06:12 PM talking about boost; is there any way to get more boost or get it to come in sooner on the ss/sc?
USMCFieldMP 07-20-2008, 06:15 PM talking about boost; is there any way to get more boost or get it to come in sooner on the ss/sc?
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Is this a serious question?
If so... a smaller Supercharger Pulley will do that for you.
chris88z24 07-20-2008, 06:16 PM Not bad times.. get more accustomed to the car and go run it again :)
scott allen 07-20-2008, 06:33 PM sorry i was trying to say could it be done with out a pulley swap. i heard {dont know what it is called} the black round thing on the supercharger, that you could adjust that to get your boost to come in sooner. sorry i sound like a dumb ass . i never had a supercharged car before. i would guess that would be somekind of blow off valve?
USMCFieldMP 07-20-2008, 06:36 PM No... don't fuck with that.
Pulley is basically the easiest way.
BULLETSSMOKE 07-20-2008, 06:38 PM work on that 60ft and reaction time
scott allen 07-20-2008, 06:38 PM No... don't fuck with that.
Pulley is basically the easiest way.
what is it and what does it do ?
2fastSS 07-20-2008, 06:43 PM its called a boost bypass dont fuck with it because yes it will fuck your car up.. it will make you boost more but say a few times of boosting something will break...Its not good for your engine and just isnt safe... a pulley swap is cheap as hell and especially a stage kit is even safer than everything so forth just save and do it the right way so you dont blow shit up
scott allen 07-20-2008, 06:55 PM hey thanks' i dont want to fuck it up. i was told you could do it .right now i have the gm stage 2,injen cai, gmpp sport catback. i have a 2.79 pulley but i was waiting on a cx racing intercooler , after that im going to get tuned.but what is the diffrence between the pulley boost or adjusting the bypass valve?
USMCFieldMP 07-20-2008, 06:58 PM Pulley spins the S/C faster or slower.
Bypass Valve opens and closes a butterfly in response to Throttle Position.
2fastSS 07-20-2008, 07:01 PM Im not really sure since i really never spent the time looking into it, but one thing i do know is that the boost bypass is not safe at all... The pulley is the best option with a good tune and good injectors... Honestly bro ive heard alot about the 2.79 being way to small for the gm stage 2 but thats your choice if it was me i would throw 60lbers on there and then get a tune and keep that 2.79 on there that way your injectors dont go static or past 100% duty cycle with the 60's you wont ever go static... This actually happened to my friend had a 2.8 and stage 2 and blew his shit up racing a mustang gt beat the mustang but then boom piston 1 and 3 and 3500 dollars later for a new engine....
neway good luck
G85Cobalt 07-20-2008, 07:11 PM Yea depends on how reliable you want the car to be my ss s/c ran a 14.6 stock at the track out here in cali when LACR was still around..that isn't adjusted for the altitude above sea level. but with driver mod and an cai u should be able to drop ur times easily.
scott allen 07-20-2008, 07:13 PM thanks i dont have the pulley on there yet. i was going to wait until i get some cooling mods first , and then get it installed when i get it tuned i hope i dont need 60s but if i do i guess ill have to get them.
SilverSS/SC 07-20-2008, 07:20 PM hahns driving is not a good indicator stu.
i garuntee you most of the people who get that tune + catback would be high 13s all day.
And a good handful will still not get outa the 14's :lol:
2fastSS 07-20-2008, 07:24 PM im just not impressed at all about this car... It was hyped up alot i mean yes its a better car but just doesnt impress me
USMCFieldMP 07-20-2008, 07:24 PM thanks i dont have the pulley on there yet. i was going to wait until i get some cooling mods first , and then get it installed when i get it tuned i hope i dont need 60s but if i do i guess ill have to get them.
I've been running Stg2 Injectors and a 2.79 pulley for 2 years now. I go WOT ALL the time. I haven't had one problem.
scott allen 07-20-2008, 07:28 PM I've been running Stg2 Injectors and a 2.79 pulley for 2 years now. I go WOT ALL the time. I haven't had one problem.
really , what other mods do you have done? did the 2.79 pulley make a good difference in power:)?
USMCFieldMP 07-21-2008, 06:59 AM Yeah... it did.
As it sits right now:
Fujita CAI, Stg2 Injectors, 2.79" Pulley, GMPP Header, ZZP Catless DP, GMPP Performance Cat-Back, Wicked Tuned. Plus traction mods and a few other things.

do you have a time slip?
ya know thats 2200ft alt and usually always a head wind... i had to muscle out a 14.60 with intake and catback and i live in lancaster so i was pretty used to the track and a weekend racer and i have been racing there for 8yrs with my 500hp firebird, so please dont just say "im a better driver"
what was the temps was it hot or cold summer winter spring or fall? just wondering? that altitude alone adds .5 of a second so your kinda saying you would of ran a 14.0 in a stock cobalt on a unprepped track... you must be as good as hahn's driver, or better :lol:
i was consitantly beating a turbo infinity g35, thats how shitty lacr weather and track was... he was running mid 15's all night
and if so well then congrats to you... http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Respect/king-033.gif
2fastSS 07-21-2008, 11:30 AM i wouldnt doubt it people with stock cobalts have ran 14.1s all stock no mods goes to show it is possible
hungryhip-ccp 07-21-2008, 11:55 AM yeah i checked the official 1/4 mile thread and it seems ther are 5 or so people that have run that, go's to show what a prepped track and sea level cond can do!
i was not aware people were running those times bone stock! but i am now... i cant wait to bring the cobalt to somewere sea level with the DR's can we say low 12's
hatrickstu 07-21-2008, 12:15 PM Yea depends on how reliable you want the car to be my ss s/c ran a 14.6 stock at the track out here in cali when LACR was still around..that isn't adjusted for the altitude above sea level. but with driver mod and an cai u should be able to drop ur times easily.
where do you buy these driver mods? dumbest term of all time
hungryhip-ccp 07-21-2008, 12:17 PM agreed...:thumbsdow how lame, it was funny at first now its blown out...
hatrickstu 07-21-2008, 12:18 PM agreed...:thumbsdow how lame, it was funny at first now its blown out...
it really is. is it really that hard to say "he is a good driver" or "he needs to practice"
it honestly makes me angry most the time i hear it because it is so fucking stupid
