Fastest GMS1 cobalt
^ Pretty much this-that proves your car is black..
I won't start with accusations so hypothetically how could a Stage 1 car cut that time/trap ? All bolt ons (not "custom tuned" for mind you) , ported head/throttle body? (ditto) , traction aids (slicks/chains/bags/etc) , meth/water/nos , gutting the car/empty tank , turbo upgrade
,vac tank bypass, wikd awsome driver mod..Am I forgetting anything?

The trap isn't unless its a downhill track. Also you should know the tq management in the stock GMS1 tune kills your 60 ft. You only can get 50% of tq in first gear. With gutted and slicks, a few more mods it wouldn't be possible, because of the custom tuning needed for the new intake tract. (The maf would be skewed all to hell killing the numbers.)
same said for E/T's.
This is why there are correction factors.
Really though as I heard in the video (which took FOREVER to load btw) usig any dyno numbers as a baseline - is really where a dyno becomes a tool;
you can't really compare different cars, on different dynos, in different vicinities ~ becasue they are all variables which attribute to difference...
car looked great though
I'd like to think I'm a good driver. I just posted my times. The NHRA natls were held there the weekend before. It was perfect conditions IMHO. The car ran well. I dunno what else I can say. No wonder everybody left this forum. Yes my spare was removed, trunk was gutted, interior was still full.
You also have to remember I have a weird wastegate. I spike and hold 26psi on the GMS1 as my Facebook shows. So does my dealership record. I made sure I made a record of it in case something happened.
But if this is true, it would make sense, but it wouldn't mean you are running a stock GMS1 tune (The boost levels for that tune are leveling around 21PSI). 26 PSI makes the turbo a heat factory too. So even that this is all possible. 26 PSI makes this car no longer "stock GMS1 tune." You have a very nice dealer.

I think someone may be on "pills"(j/k-PUN INTENDED HERE). Helluva good run and so much the better if on GM tune.
FRQ FLYR's GMS1 + bolt-on times seem much more believeable to me. He's only trapping 3mph faster and 5 tenths quicker E/T. It doesn't make much sense to me that a car only running GMS1 can match or out-trap most cars running HPT/Trifecta that are putting down well over 300whp. And trap is more based on power than driver skill, unlike E/T.
Yeah, for sure. I know 23psi at this altitude isn't quite the same amount of air as a lower altitude as either. Probably more comparable to airflow you'd see at around 19-20psi at an altitude closer to sea level.

dont bother with weight reduction right now, focus on other things like your 60'. Now me i went 12.1 in street trim so i will be doing all i can to hit 11's. so weight reduction will help me. but for you do the other things mentioned first then try wr
Are you running slicks? 1.7 60 foot is beastly
