I hope there is a TON left in tuning.....
It looked a little lazy getting through the gears to me, especially with how much it cost.
Now that i watch the timer, it took you about 12 seconds just to run out 2nd and get to the top of third, that was from a decent roll on. it sounds like in the vid that you stepped into it at around 3 seconds, and the top of third was after 15 seconds.
If you add onto that the time it would take to get out of first from a dig... its probably high 13's. ouch.
I think too many people are wrapped up in how good it sounds that they didnt even notice its not going anywhere.
Go ahead start typing all in caps about being pinned in your Recaros and your seat of the pants dyno, ect, ect.
I say come back with some TRACK TIMES, dynos are for tuning and Supras. Track times matter.

Here is a car making a 13.5 sec pass, at only 102 mph.

Which one is getting through the gears better? I know the cobalt is geared a LITTLE taller but still. It took this car about 10 seconds to get from the begining of second to the end of the track. Not 12. ugh..
I just watched both videos at the same time, if you start the bmw's LAUNCH at the same time that the cobalt floors it (2nd gear roll on) cobalt is at top of third (what is that like 105?) when the bmw finishes.
I knew it looked slow...

i think he will be tuning it up quite a bit. remember its tuned for the 2.6 on the heaton..
plus i doubt he is going wot through that.. untuned... that would be pretty damn stupid.

VIDEO TIME! ! If you have a problem with the quality or clearness I apologize. The last video I did was all by myself driving and recording at the same time. The only thing I have to record them on is my Kodak Digital Camera, so I did the best I could. These are all untuned as I need to take away just a bit down low and add a bit up top still. Enjoy!
Cruising down the road with a hint of the whine! That's what I hear all the time now eve in vacuum!

sounds nice, but lets see what it does at the track or on the dyno before i can pass judgement
but as for what master shake said about comparing it to another car. Well thats not a good idea, i know i did that at first, but now i realise why its not. Comparing videos just wont work. Mainly because your only able to compare whole seconds with a guestimation of RPM and exact start point as well as finish point. You wont be able to see a difference of less than half a second. So even if the kit took .30 seconds off each gear, thats almost a full second in the quarter mile.

Fat chicks having an orgasm sound hawt in the dark...but when u hit the lights its a horrible sight
Without numbers...the TS is the fat chick. When numbers are shown it may turn out to be a hawt chick but from what ive seen thru data probably not.
Either way best of luck and git r dun!

ssnipes, I'm actually really scared to hit the track. Everytime I go I break something. The last time it was grenading my 3rd gear! I think I have all my issues sorted out so it doesn't happen again, and I even turned on the torque management again, but I'm still terrified if I go I'll break again looking back at my track history. I will have dyno numbers soon if I can get things rolling here in the next day or so!
question though. - what will the IAT's be with a 4th gear pull to the top. that is a real test.

the video below, is my speedometer @ wot. i'm only lightly modded and running mid 13s, low 13's once on a good day.
the pull is short, from 4-6k in second gear (it was only intended for people to hear the exhaust.. )

this is the t/s video

make of it what you will, but its easier to compare 2 cobalts than a cobalt vs M3

granny shifting doesnt have anything to do with how long it takes to get through the gears.
Call me a hater all you want, the car still looks slow, and IS slow. Until I see some track vids/times to make me a liar, Im sticking to my guns.
And as for third running out to 118, do you think this car will trap at 118 mph? not even close... get over the noise! Its NOT going to run 12's.
