What?


It'll make good numbers.. I don't wanna say what I think it'll make and get shot down....

Will say.... friends TC made 346/426 on same dyno and I hang with him from 60...

 

Ohhhh Haiiiii guys haha damn I haven't been in this thread in a while

 

Good point.

For me it is 344/301 or bust. That will be the highest "confirmed" TVS dyno without a ported head.

 

Getting shot down isn't the problem. Having high hopes and having the dyno break your heart is lol. That's why I don't really care about dynoing my car right now. I wanna see what kind of times I can lay down. Track doesn't lie.

 

Really? ... I'll try to change that

 

exactly...mine is my DD wutever it lays down is wut it lays down...running it on the street or on the strip is a different story

 

Dyno numbers mean dick go see what u trap. I've made more than 344 on pump gas but could care less about bragging rights or the dyno thread. When u trap 118 on the stock head and block that's where it counts. I should have took my slicks off for a pass and trapped 120+ Lolz

Shooting for 130 traps now

 

A couple years back with my M62 with basiclly a 2.8" pulley and meth I dyno'd at a local shop and made 301whp/260wtq. I laughed because obviously there was no way. Went to another local shop and made 262whp/ 227wtq. Just goes to show that a dyno is just a tuning tool.

 

Roll race?

 

Yes

 

which 1 of u ******** stole my engine!

damn, that sucks dude, you should kick that guys ass when you find out

 

idk how the hell he did it! hes quiet tho

 

Silly Cobalt owners, real race cars turn. Dynos are great for measuring power improvements, as long as you keep using the same one.

 

^ troll in the dungeon... There's a troll in the dungeon!!!!!!!

 

Out with u i say!! Out!!!!!!!!!!

 

you know my sig pic is me, my car and a real track right? Also those plaques you see I won 2 A mains out there as well. I do all kinds of racing, but the one i measure my power at is the 1320

 

(you do know im not im my stock setup anymore right?)
if yall were closer we could go 3 wide. I would make you bring your wallets though like i do the poor V8 guys here

dont get me wrong when tempted i sometimes gets down on teh highways as well but here in the city its kinda hard

 

Hey Kenny, when are we gonna get some vids of that new set up??

 

This guy kinda sounds like saun, lol

what do you drive if I may ask,

 

40 rolls for dayzzzzz

 

80 rolls please.

 

Don't get me wrong. I think it is cool that you have built yourself a monster Cobalt and race it on the strip. But your whole argument of "dyno numbers don't matter" is completely off base on this platform. In all honestly, "1/4 mile times" don't mean anything to 95% of LSJ/LNF owners. People ask me what my car would run and I tell them low 13s with street tires and high 12s with slicks and a good driver. But I (like 95% of this platform) will never make the commitment of money and time to EVER accomplish those feats with my car. Its an out dated motor sport that does not appeal to this crowd.

The 80s called and said that drag racing is out of style...

Again. I don't mean any disrespect toward you. But in the context of this platform, you are the odd ball. lol

And yes I have been following your build. Its guys like you who make me want to open up my wallet and spend spend spend! I just can not make up my mind how much more I want to stick into this econobox. The new Cadillac ATS and Gen 6 Camaro and looking pretty nice...

 

I say **** it. Because numbers are always different. I can dyno my car at a. And make 440whp and go to b. my dyno and make 420whp on my setup as of now. It's all ****. Now about the drag, every person drives different and therefore will show different results so it's not in my eyes the best way to tell power. I have a Balt running 12.0 stock turbo and it's only on 22-23lbs. If someone is consistent then im sure it can be rated but with someone who does it here and there it's not a legit way to tell. My .03 cents.

 

I'll race threw the woods or cross country anyday
