here it is guys, 14's on the money lol

 

Nitrous FTW!

 

Is it a 2.2L?

 

yea it is

 

anything you can do about that 60'? i know its not an ss s/c, but with a little work you could probably hit a 2.3 and bring your time down to 14.4ish.

good runs

 

good stuff man.

 

well i juiced in 1st, all spin, second too. im using traction t/a's in the front, their amazing!

 

nice

 

Congrats....

OT, are there any 2.4s in the 14s?

 

i wouldn't doubt it. not everyone posts in forums

 

can our axles handle slicks?

 

is that a serious question??

btw, congrats on the 14s

 

it is serious, ive already heard horror stories of snaped axles, im asking what the limit of the stock ones are on the ls/g5

 

after really digging into that issue im starting to change my mind.
i think that slicks/drs are risky....but i think the axle thing has alot to do with driver input....and wheelhop.

 

if im not mistaken, all of the axles int he cobalts are the same, whether is be an ss/sc or a ls. their limits are, well, not good. you got to figure, with slicks the shock to the drivetrain is enormous, so the weakest link will break first. im almost positive an axle would break if you launched your car on slicks

you can eliminate the wheel hop and still break an axle. but that takes a lot of torque too so its hard telling. i wouldnt run slicks on stock axles but thats just me

 

Good run bro

 

well, i wonder if a hard launch on slicks would be mostly absorbed by a stock clutch, a stage 2 might transfer to much torque to the axles. but then im just roasting clutch and thats no good either....

 

I broke both axles on my car with 0 wheel hop, no clutch drop on street tires, but I was putting down 296whp and 271wtq at the time

 

well 300hp axles stock are preaty good id say??????

 

yeah they held up on the street real well... just not on a well prepped track. I have the DSS stage II's now and so far so good and a few hard launched on em with slicks and no breakage

 

nice. whats the price on those?

 

i couldnt break 14.5 with my ss/sc...my 60" were always 2.4 or a 2.398..im trappin 100 mph STOCK

 

these cars ain't easy to drive man... and the DSS axles are like $700+

 

nice. figured they were around there. I was planning on doing a flywheel and clutch upgrade too.

also, what kind of weight reduction can i expect with the back seat delete?

 

we need an alternate axle option.
$700 is ouchies.

theres a company up in AZ....doing an "upgrade" to some guys stock axles for $85 a pop, I spoke to one guy who has broken 3.
but since he had it done he has been running DRs for a while, and was able to do 4k clutch dump burnouts.


wish someone could figure somethin out for us.
sucks being limited by axles, when your only option is a $700+ touch....
