Took a trip to ZZP today, did a little tuning and we were able to hit my goal of 500whp at 30 psi on 112 octane gas. Here is a pic of the chart. This is what the real world numbers are, no skewing anything to make the numbers higher, I did not want that. The correction factor alone was taking 5% of power. Car made 429whp on 93 octane at 24psi. On the conti DWS tires I have now it spins third worse than it did on the stock turbo in second. Looks like I will be getting tires next spring lol. Dont mind the wideband readings, the wideband was acting goofy all day, the logs show a nice perfectly smooth flat line. Thanks again to ZZP and Matt and Ryan especially.

 

Thats sick! Great numbers man... How are you liking that trans?

 

Love it, Another thing, I filled the car up just down the road from ZZP and again when I got home, 28.1 MPG average driving 77MPH the whole way, and that was off of gps.

 

Thats great!! Now with that trans the gears are shorter right?

 

Yes.

 

awesome job.

 

I want bigger numbers now lol

Very nice work

 

We could have went more but I think this is more than enough for now, I already have to start working on the traction part of things again. I also drove 260 miles there and back home lol, I didnt want to break up there. I will try for bigger numbers at another time.

Thank you

 

Great job so far man. Seems nasty! The pull must be insane, if you had traction lol.

 

I know what you mean by 3rd. Mine goes straight to redline, haha. Looked into many tires yet?
nice numbers.

 

Thanks for coming up to our shop, Chris. You put together a very nice setup! I hope to see you in the 10s soon.

 

So correction factor was 0?

 

thats what i love about mine too. i averaged about 31-32mpg on my trip to texas and back with the car. daily drive ability and still great mileage. great numbers! now pick up my slack and get to the track! hahah

 

wow.

 

very nice! I think its time to trade my sc for a tc

 

Think about it...be out thousands for another cobalt and still have to buy all the parts for the TC. Best option would be to turbo your lsj.

 

SWEET !!!! Hopefully Ill have my 2.1 engine done by Jan. Problem is Im building one for the 454SS also. A 496 Gen 6 Roller engine with aluminum heads =$$$

 

Not yet, but sythe snake is running nitto invos and does pretty good.

 

I am trying to go next week, there is an event but I want to still see if I can test on one of the days.

 

Yeah. are you running any boost control by gear? That helps though sucks your still not using all your power.

 

The 2.1 is a sweet engine for sure.

 

good stuff man looking forward to your times

 

As of right now no. But I am working on that part.

 

He used sae correction, which was around .95. Uncorrected numbers were a little over 525 whp.

 

I have the nitto invos and they were pretty grippy right away but now i don't get traction to third and i have nowhere near 500 hp lol
