reason im askin is because some idiot told me with his wrx that we push like 170 to the wheels and it didnt sound reasonable to me....
because we have a stock srt 4 in town and they are saying stage 2 wont even be able to beat it from a 40 mph roll

I'm almost positive that we're over 200 at the wheels...GM also has a history of underrating power as well....I bet there are some dyno sheets on this site by stock ss/sc's..I'm just to tired to search for them. As far as the srt4 race, there are plenty of people on here that are staged and will be able to give you real experience info on that, but if I was in a stage2 or intense staged cobalt I wouldn't hesitate to take them up on that challenge. If I was in the right mood I'd even consider tryin a stock ss/sc in that one.

heres the deal stock srt-4 vs cobalt with stage 2 the race will be all up to the drivers
you can easily take him
i raced a srt-4 with a cai and a blowoff valve maybe some other stuff but i think thats it with my stage 2 cobalt ngk plugs and he only took me by a carlength cus my tires spun
the rest of the race we were even

and about the horsepower
gm quotes 205 at 5600 rpm
so that means you only get 205 horsepower if you are shifting at that
higher the rpm=more horsepower
thats y many people see more than 205
and it is whp

That's not how it works.
That just means it 'peaked' at 5600, and dropped after that, which we all know is BS though on the LSJ

Where's your proof of this??! I've seen plenty of stock dyno sheets, as well as my own stock dyno's, and these particular engines (bone stock) continue making horsepower all the way untill the factory 6500rpm rev limiter kicks in. Don't go by what the fake GM dyno sheets tell you, go by what the numerous "real life, real dyno" sheets read. Do a search.

k heres the deal an easy thing to remember for you new kids on the block out there
the more psi your pushing the more hp you make
so that means when your going past 5600 rpms and the boost keeps going up that means more horses are being added
am i right or not????

but boost does not = HP
Clogged cat will hurt hp A LOT, but your boost goes through the roof.
You can cool that air down, which will give you more power, but less boost, there are TONES of factors.
