I'm staying out of this thread. All I can say is nice trap speed.

No sir. No slicks involved...first time out, we went 13.20 on stock tires, now we've fitted Drag Radials.

Thank you! CAI should be within August. It will be unique, we are doing a lot of dyno and track development to learn some fun things about this department.

Thanks! We are finding the power, step by step.

ahhh bill bill, i know you have sub 2.0 60fts in you with slicks :D

good luck man.

Heh, you bet...I went as quick as 1.78 on my SRT with small drag radials, but that was also with a S20G turbo that was not nearly as explosive at low RPM as the stock K04 on this Cobalt. The small, fast-spooling turbo creates additional challenges. But we'll get there! I made lots of laps in that SRT to get down to 1.78.

I did pull out a 1.96 on another pass with this setup, but alas, I got confused on my 'no-lift' shift that time, so the ET was off. But there it is...a 1.96 on this pass would have been a solid 12.9 ET. Even us hotshoes still need to find that 'sweet spot' to get repeatability! Thanks for the kind words and good wishes :)

Bill,

When are you coming back to the west coast to hang out? We should go do some target shooting, or have a bbq. I know in May 2009 we are taking a cruiseship to Mexico, you and the lady want to go on that one?

I was trapping 107.75. He'll beat me though.

<--- Bill I will be your number 1 customer lol

what rim did you put the m/t's on........ size ?

just read you have them on the stock rim..................

One never knows...I may be headed out to La-La Land to do some Sky tuning soon.

Wow, what a great offer! I may have to take you up on that one :) Please keep me posted.

Yep, they work on the stock wheel. 245/40 R18. Clears the suspension and everything! Probably not good for lowered cars though...it's tight on the inner fenderwells. No real contact issues, but it is bigger than the stock tire, which ain't exactly small either!

i call dibs on a 40 punch
:D

demmit. a tc is going to beat me to the 12's

La-La Land?? Where might that be?? lol could it perhaps be :ca:???

congrats bill:cssNET:

it's near ballsdeepindia. about 10 miles away from BFE

Nice times Bill ...considering the air around here lately has been few steps below horrid . Watchout here in month or so when this humidity dies off a little .

im waiting for fall to come along before i hit the track again. 3500 DA does not play nice with my car

Haha, it's code for Los Angeles (L.A.). Or as we used to call it, the Land of Fruits and Nuts! :lol:

rofl i love it:lol:

So then...you can hook my car up when you're in LA right? :)

I might be doing San Diego in a week or so for the Regional Sky/Sol meeting. If there's not enough tunes then I get to stay home.

I think if you look on the GMRoadster.com website you can get details on the Cruise to Mexico. If you head back to PHX let me know so we can entertain you.

I stopped by Ballsdeepindia on a trip to Mianus, fun was had by all.

i dont know if im impressed or not....cuz bill is an AMAZING driver...lol, sweet sauce none the less

Congrats Bill, ya beat me :)
I need to get back to track but its been raining here.

Hopefully robyn can send me out the tune tomm. so we can see what the tune and my mods will lay down.

Oh yea congrats

I have them now. just waiting to get to track. seems to be raining in the mountains every track day.
