So i am wondering if 12.9 to 13.2 is possible with my setup.

I am currently a 06 SS/SC with 42's, 3' Catless DP, Injen Intake, 2.9 Pulley and GM3+Trifecta+BYT Tune.

I am putting on 60's and a 2.8 Pulley with a ZZP S3 Heat Exchanger and getting retuned by BYT hopefully this weekend.

Just had the car at the track last week for a few runs and pulled a 13.485@104.1.
I am wondering what i could expect with the new upgrades and retune.

Is a 13.0 impossible with this setup. Did have some wheel hop last time which is kind of unusual for my car. Interested in hearing what you guys think. Dont plan on going slicks at all and would prefer to keep my runs on street tires.



Here is my last run at the track:

YouTube - Cobalt SS/SC GM3 + BYT Tuned 13.4@104

 

You need some tires and mounts on that bad boy, then you will see much different times. BUT on the same setup, prolly pretty reasonable to expect a lower 13 and lil better trap.

 

^^^ Agreed. If you're laying down a 2.0 60ft on street tires now. Mounts and radials or slicks would cut you a much better 60ft and make a real difference in you're 1/4 mile. Especially at the sweet ass tracks you race at. Watching you're vid and looking at the prep work makes me so jealious lol

 

Well 60's, 2.8 and ZZP S3 are going on the car this week. While the Front & Rear ZZP Trans Mounts & strut bar are being put on next week. When i get back from VA the car should be ready and good to go.

Looking at getting slicks right now but really have no idea what tire size or combo to get.
Searching the forum to see what people are going with but dont see to much yet.

 

im going to be running 25/9/15's on my car next season i know i have to shave the caliper a bit but that is ok! got a buddy that did it this last year and he got a 13.7 on gm stage 2 and a cai

 

yah the more sidewall the better the bite, typically.

25 seems kinda small but im used to runnign a nova with a 454 and 28 inch slicks, any smaller and its just too little. whats the final drive in an SS/SC??

 

25 is actually just a little big for these cars. Most guys prefer 24.5"

 

wow, i really am ignorant, im just not used to fwd when it comes to racing setup.

 

Ha its all good man

 

If only i could find a drag strip in germany...

 

He was running slicks and the best he did was a 13.7? Or was it just a GM2 & Intake if so thats not bad at all. I pulled a 13.617@103 with GM2 and intake.

 

ya just had gm stage2 and intake with the slicks

 

You aint shitting. Got both front and rear zzp trans mounts in and its a hole different beast of the line. Next season gonna try my luck with a pair of slicks on.

 

bitburg..................








to the OP, you need slicks. With that newfound power, you might pull a 13.0 with slicks.

 

may need axels to if u go slicks and remove the wing it get u a couple tenths and remove weight seat, ect..

 

Well i wanted to post an update since we are getting closer to running at the track finally.

My clutch has kept the car from going but the new exedy is being ordered tonight.
Car should be ready for the track on the 9th.

So here is the Old Setup: 13.4@104.1
ZZP GM 2.9, 42's, 3 Catless DP,Injen and a BYT tune on top of my GM3.

Here is what been added since.

Bad-Mab,Megan Exhaust.ZZP GM 2.8, ZZP S3 H/E, ZZP F/R Trans Mounts,ZZP 3'CAI, ZZP M62 Meth Plate, Exedy Stage 3 Hypersingle Clutch, Siemens 60's, Devils Own Progressive, HPTuners,Strut Bar, AEM Uego/Boost/EGT, WOTBox.

Going to posts vids and track results on the 9th if all goes as planned.

 

Wow you've been busy in upgrades! You're goona lay down some good times! But ya still need slicks lol. Definatly in for results

 

It should be interesting, for some reason everyone doubts the car will break 12's without slicks. I personally think otherwise. THe meth is not even installed yet and the car is way way quicker than before.

I might be put in my place. I guess i feel a little cocky since i ran better than most with way less mods and no slicks. No offense on this comment to anyone.

 

It's only the truth. You've proven it.

 

some people are just better drivers ^^ ll

 

ill b running my stock balt at that track tonight. i hope i don't break an axle. its way different going from an awd t/c car to a supercharged fwd car...

 

Not saying its going to happen because you have impressive times for your last setup. But you also gotta remember, without slicks and all those extra parts with extra power, will make it harder to hook up. So you might get the same ET but your traps will be faster.

 

The car will be more than capable of running those times. Meaning it should def have enough power to obtain your goals. The new issue will be traction (like mentioned above), and almost re-learning how to drive the car again. Interested in your final results!

 

This is what i hear alot as well and i do agree. I never had a problem getting off the line with 253hp and i dont think i am pushing over 270ish yet either. I might be 50% throttle out of the hole and dont hit the gas until i am moving. Its whats gotten me really consistant 60ft times.

Launching with the WOTBox and slicks will be even better later this season.

 

Looks like April 5th will be my Track day.
