just asking man, lol, there's quite a few people on here that have more than just a cobalt, and some with no cobalt at all. Good to know where the "best gains" are found in the head for future reference.

Last set of tires I put on the Z28 I used to have cost a little under $1k. I didn't do too many burnouts on those.

the best gains on a stock LSJ set up are the intake manifold....the flow numbers of my stock piece VS my hahn unit are astounding!

the head is just another place to find easy power.

the lsj head is wicked strong, and the intake side is more then ample for 400-450hp however, the exhaust side is week at best....

Well, we went from 20mph to 190mph... He so had me up to 140 by like 5... then, I must have hit V-TEC, because I flew right by him.

Indeed. I figured I would have got yelled at. I got too pleasant of a response. I'm disappointed. But I forgot... the High School crowd doesn't wake up until noon.

Seriously, I really want to race one though. I don't see it being a close race, I should walk all over it (my trap this year should be around 106 to 108 - 108+ based on the 1/8mile I ran earlier this year)... but I still want it to happen.

No... I can't get one to race me. Boostking said that he will race me... but only at the track, which is gay in its own way. I want to experiment with one on the freeway. Once the Dealership gets one in... I'm so taking it for a test drive and having my GF drive the SS/SC...


Videos will be posted.

Yeah... indeed. I hope none of the SS/TC guys see this thread and see my trap. I've been telling them all that I am just stg2 with exhaust... and that it should be a close race.

I'm such a bad boy. I need to go to sleep.

Haha... you can get away with that... sort of. Your S/C doesn't go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! anymore.

The Local people... well, the ones that don't know about me yet... I tell them, "I've just got a few things on the intake side and a few things on the exhaust side."

I hate living in a small town. The cars are so slow... and the ones that ARE fast... are FUGGIN fast.

I wouldn't mind racing a SS/SC, just would have to find the right freeway at the right time of day. I've never gotten a ticket and would like to keep it that way. I don't really care if I win or lose, this car isn't that fast. Slower than my previous car, but it should be good in winter, its light on gas, and it wasn't expensive.
