HCI read this months issue........or go to cobaltrage.com this guy did a build-up of the 2.0 to over a 1000 hp and should be running 9 sec 1/4 mile and will be selling parts to help you do the same


really sorry if this is a repost read the article today and thought ....................... WOW

 

Sweet. I'm gonna go check it out now.

 

I like the paint, looks all SR71-ish

 

From looking at it I am thinking that is the 2.2 engine. Looks wicked none the less.

 

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that. There isn't anything more than pictures of the car at the site. I guess I'll have to go purchase the new HCI to find out what he is running.

 

They've got wallpapers too!

I love this statement. Building for the street!!!

When Jason Whitfield brought out his “New” car that hardly anyone knew about – people were pretty blown away. Out of trailer came this insane Chevy Cobalt that Jason is going to campaign this year. “I just want to go fast, and I want to do it on a consistent basis. We have all seen how these GM racecars have performed and proven themselves on the track. I just wanted a piece of it. I wanted to venture out into something that was different for me. I also wanted to do something with the Cobalt that I don’t think has been done before. I didn’t want to just build another racecar. I wanted to build a street car that I can take out on the street or to any shows I want to, and oh by the way lay down some insane HP numbers on my Dyno, and be one of the fastest street cars ever” – said Jason.

 

Let's hear it for him. With that car it means anything is possible for our cobalts. eeee! I can hardly wait to get hard into tuning.

 

if you look at his wallpapers it mentions, l61 isnt the that the engine code for the 2.2 ecotec

 

+1...you hit it right on the money. This car and every other car used on the drag strip competitively is the L61 (2.2L) For building drag car it may just be easier to take the 2.2L and build the internals. Unless it says LSJ, its not our cars.

Actually, it is...almost like building a stroker kit on the 2.0Ls...People put stroker kits on EVOs and what not because they only come in 2.0Ls.

 

has noone seen the ecotec build book? It has instructions to build the 2.2 to 1400hp

 

I agree, they need to check it out. cavingman is adding it onto the info listed on www.lsjowners.com

 

The SMS drag Ion does over 1,400hp and runs 7s. Has for years now.

 

1,400 hp in a street driven LSJ...better yet, my LSJ.....ZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzz (saliva running down my mouth)

Too bad the build up is for 2.2's

 

Yeah and is a 2.2L turbo ION...not the LSJ

 

Definitley check ou thte new HCI....I picked it up last week, and it has a big article on the RK Sport RedLine as well

 

i thought the big struggle was "tuning" for the damn 2.2? That its a 1 bar system... anyone have the ecotec book yet?

 

Not to threadjack, but Rob, LOVE the new photos!

 

This is awesome, that car is sick, there is going to be some serious stuff for the balt here soon.

 

Its on the GM tuner source site

 

http://www.gm.com/company/gmtunersou...build_book.htm

 

yeah that book totally froze on me. BUT, since i am very very interested in it, i'm going to let it stay "frozen" in hope its actually downloading. My Router shows that it is, but then again, its let me down so many times

 

1400hp in anything is gonna be a bad car to drive on the street....a fwd car isnt just bad to drive on the street at that much power, it is just reckless.

 

holy intercooler batman!

 

Show me one 1400hp car you can drive and race on the street.

Drivability aside, try getting 1400 to the ground... cmon... lets be realistic...
