I'd stayed at the HIE, free internet, breakfast, and the best of all, clean room.
Did you rent a car to go exploring? I like GR/MI, a few more trips, I can get around without needing directions. Lol

 

Nah, I towed the car up with my truck and a uhaul trailer. Just watch out at the Grand Villa, great food for great prices but it gives you killer heartburn.

 

Car is on the dyno, Matt ran into some boosting issues though. A few of my lines worked their way loose and the line I got from treadstone fell apart at my wastegate. Hes replacing them now for me and then getting the car tuned.

 

cool! post numbers!!!

 

508whp 473wtq corrected on 29psi and their dyno is a mustang so it would read about 560whp on a dynojet.

 

Ehh, their dyno actually reads rather accurately and consistent with dynojets. You might be a tad higher like 520whp but not no 560whp.

Great numbers man!

 

We are about 3-5% lower than the nearest dynojet at this power level. So yeah, 520-530 sae on that dynojet. The mobil Dynojet I dyno'd my car on a couple years ago would put this car closer to 540, but that dyno seemed high.

Thanks for coming up, Nick. Let me know if you run into any problems. I hope you get to enjoy it for a while this time.

 

Thanks for the clarification Matt. I wasn't too far off.

 

Wow.. good numbers... Was it worth the trip or what?

 

Oh yes! I took my stepdad home in it. Amazingly it hooks really well in 3rd on 26psi, idk if its the 4.45 trans on what but I hit 130 before I knew it....

 

Will do Matt! Thanks for the great tune and fixing my horrible boost leaks! No more dead spots and she spools amazingly quick.

 

People back home are saying I can't use the correction factor on my dyno numbers, lol. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to prove it on the strip...

 

Can't use the correction? Everyone uses correction! More importantly, many people use std correction, which would have put you around 525whp. What happens when you dyno here in the winter and the uncorrected number is 540 and the corrected number is still 508? Which one do you use then?

Using the corrected numbers makes dynoing more consistent. That's what it's for.

 

Freakin haters man. They'll always find reasons why a cobalt can't do this or that. Pisses me off..

 

Its pure jealousy man thats all. Just ignore it, thats all you can do.

 

Wow! That's very impressive. It's amazing what these cars can do the more I read and learn about the LNF, the more I realize what an awesome base platform these motors are.

 

Impressive sir! And props to zzp for their work

 

I don't understand why the correction crap matters. Still making over 500 hp, which is freaking ridiculous.

 

yeah i broke my stage 2 4.45. Has about 10k on it and i stripped 3rd completely. Mine is heading out to ZZP anyday as well.

 

WHAT!?!?

 

Loading up third gear with a quick spooling turbo can do that lol

 

sweet numbers, hoping down the road when I get some money together to schedule my balt to hit up their garage and do a turbo swap and some other things. Wanted to do it myself with some help but I'd rather have it done by the pro's who know what to do(i'll definitely help if they let me haha).

 

Trust me I know first hand but on a built Trans?! Had to be a fluke.

 

Same thing I told them...doesn't make sense, lol.
Raced a new 5.0 today as I fixed my gasket yesterday with one a friend had until I get my new one and some locking tabs in. Though you had me on 25.5psi but its hard to read that mechanical gauge, think I should have went with the AEM. I turned the rpd over to the boost gauge after I turned it up to what should have been 29 as I was going to do one lil pull on it, lol. Turns out it was on 22 when I raced that 5.0 as now its boosting 25.5psi according to the rpd. I still pulled about a car length or two on him and he was
on a tune with headers, x pipe, cat delete, pypes catback and an intake. Did throw a rail pressure regaulator performance code during our 1st run though. I think the boost was too low for the 5th injector as its now at 25.5psi and doesn't throw it.

Regulator*

 

Found a destroyed lifter in my head this week on one of my exhaust valves. That could have hindered a bit of power on my recent dyno. New lifter should be here this week sometime.
