I was thinking maybe it wasn't so tiny since usually the TQ would be up past the hp if it was getting the **** spun out of it. but thats kinda of a flaky rule to go by.

I'm not going to go through the whole thread but...

It's going to be a 2009 model...there are no such things as 2008.5 model cars. They come out mid year sometimes.

There is such a thing. Mazda just did it with one of their cars in 2004.5 I believe. I saw the info in a book at work, I can double check again. They do come out mid-end year, and it is usually a couple of changes. I wouldn't expect the car to come out until September of 2008.

I can understand why all the N/A guys might want to jump all over this... but I must ask, all the SS/SC guys that are drooling over the new SS/TC.... if you love turbo so much, why the hell did you get a cobalt SC? why the hell not something else turbo? bleh

just so you guys know, that is crank power, not wheel power. Ive been fishing around on the sky redline sites and they have been having problems exceeding 300 whp.

on a stock turbo maybe.. but i dunno how it would have trouble making 300 WHP otherwise

stage 1 should be around 250 WHP so with bolt ons a better tune and such is should be at like 270 or so meh who knows

I doubt this has much relevance to GM but I'd figure give it a shot.

hahn is currently working on one. We can expect a beast setup from them, especially since they made a NA upgrade kit that runs 350+ to the wheels. Can u imagine how nicer a kit would be with the direct injected LNF. Id predict an easy 400 HP car if hahn uses the LNF as a platform for stage kits.
