yes the turbo can run faster 1/4 stock. they get off the line easier with the better suspension. and the NLST dont hert.. but we aint talking 1/4... in a stage 2 RL a 40 roll is your best friend.

thats true i ran a 14.5 stock with intake and ingalls td.

No cause gm made this feature available for to turbo to help maintain maximum boost. They ran several tests on it before it was released.

Keep in mind the "upgrade" is just a tune with a warranty. I'm sure they will be more conservative on it aswell... So in that case if Hahn's tune didn't do it I don't see GM's tune being better. Stu's car will see better times next season anyways with a lot of people as well like Ralli and whatnot.

It's just as useful from a dig as it is from a roll....

Works the same for the SS/SC as it does for the SS/TC.

n he has alot more than jus stage 2

Great race! The SS/SC driver is on the Cobalt forums and listed his mods.

Quote from the SS/SC driver (mods):
vibrant header, hiflow downpipe, gmp exhaust, 2.8 pulley, heat exchanger, injen CAI, 24 degrees of timing, denatured alcohol 50/50(timing is tuned, not the fuel map)

run em stock so you can get an idea of how much the ecu upgrade improves performance.
I think youll walk him stock, and jog from him with a tune.

I hate bench racing threads. I have a....and they have a....and what if a.....or I saw a....or blah blah. And this should be in war stories with all the other hypothetical races. I don't mean to be a jerk, but these discussions are really pointless. Go race him and find out.

**EDIT** I didn't see the op's results, but my point remains. At least you found out for yourself!
