Ok update. I redid my coolant so I hope that will cool the car down some.
Vince forgot to take off the code for the cat so I got a check engine light today. No big deal will get that taken care of.

So far my kill list is

2006 cobalt ss/sc mods (not sure the whole list)
1999 Mustang GT (basic mods, intake under drive pullys, full exhaust, tuner) it is my brothers car. Ya I beat him.

The list will continue haha

Thank you. I hope the coolant is better now.

It gets like 210-220 sometimes but will usually stay in the 190's.

Vince has the fans kicking on the hardest they can at 207 degrees.

More updates

Got my new cf trunk installed. Still need to do some fine adjusting lol
On the way back from getting it raced an STI on a roll on the turnpike and pulled on him but slowed down bc of a car in front of me.
Tonight I raced my buddies ss/sc stage 5 pulley I guess and many more mods. Pulled on him thro 2nd he pulled on me in 3rd and after that is was about dead even, he wants to go from a dig sometime soon.

Checked one of my plugs afterwards and I have some white specs so that means totally not good. Need to get 1 step colder and I hope that will help. If not I need to talk to vince and do some more tuning. With the fuel tables and maybe timing, I do not want to blow up.

Other than that it is my DD so I do baby her a lot but I get the occasional races haha.

Car looks so sexy wingless w/ cf hood and trunk now ! ! !

If your coolant temps stay in the 190s should be ok i have a lnf and run around 189-193 region if it gets higher just kick on your window defroster for the front nad roll the windows down...if it gets higher when you get done driving the car slowly take the coolant overflow cap off and let the air out then leave it off and let the car idle and rev it to like 2k and have a friend put the cap on while you hold the revs at 2k what i did and fixed my issue

Wow bump from long Time. My car is still kicking ass. Haven't had one hic up in over 3 years that I have been turbo'd. Fixed the over heating issue. All I had to do is swap my turbo coolant line to the other heater core hose.

I don't know if I wanna dyno bc I haven't changed anything except for a bigger throttle body since my last dyno so I am only a few ponies more than b4.

I have a dyno close by and it's only 50 for 3 Pulls when he has dyno days

I plan to post new pics up in a new thread hopefully tonight.
