nice!! what are you running numbers wise right now?

yes...we know...but you have blow...we is all motor :P

 

Fastested ive been is 110, and I had under a 1/2mile to do it in so it was cutting it close. Where do you guys test your speed? the highway? or old back roads? I need a radar detector. a 70mph voer ticket would not be good.

 

I sunk the needle in mine when me and Josh were running on range road. Before any of you bitch, thats a closed road.

 

Go straight to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Lol I know sorry.

 

on the freeway i know is empty with a radar detector

on base?

haha...pretty much!!

 

Damn I only got mine to about 124 mph, that was enough of a rush for me but it was still going along pretty good.
I'm sure if I pushed enough I could get it to maybe 135 mph but I won't do that unless I got some serious brake upgrades done.
I also have Eibach Prokit, FE5 Struts, W rated Tires

 

i want the upgraded struts!
according to the math...wind resistance will negate us at about 138...sooo...and same as you...i need break upgrades first!!! did you just swap the struts from an ss?? and did it drop it any lower for you?

 

Yeah I bought 2 X FE5 Struts + 2 X FE5 rear shocks from Crate engine Depot. Not very expensive and worth every dollar, you can really tell the difference. As far as how low I only got 0.5" Rear Drop because the Stock SS/SC Springs + SS/SC Shocks combined will already lower a base model 1.6" Front and 1.3" Rear.

 

base model 2.2 auto 114mph hit gov. but if i wanna go fast i take out the firebird

 

nice...i may have to look into this

haha..get it tuned..then you can go faster

 

so you say the trans tops out at 162? I have had mine up to about 156 and C&D tested it and said it was topped at 146 drag limited...thats odd cause i could have gotten a lil more outta her but i ran outta room lol

 

LMAO!
I did in my boy's eclipse, we hit 145 that day.
GTFO SC guys!!!!!1!!111!!1!!!11

Just kidding.

 

ive been 125. and still climbing pretty quick. atleast much faster than my old 2.4L

 

Yea, that very very long road with only one way on and off of it, no public access.

 

im not sure but def. somewhere up around 170/175 hp/tq for sure. im gonna be dynoing in a few weeks then puttin in the other motor n back up to the dyno lol

 

nah my cobalt is just my daily car

 

yea i hit 140 and i stoped but i will go for high 160s one of these days

 

i gotta '07 cobalt sedan with automatic, only thing thats not stock on it is my tires. my spedo only goes up to 120, but i've gotten my car up to 116, 117. after 115 the fuel cut off kicks in and starts to slow the car down but i still made it a li bit past 115.

 

i did 140 and it felt like it had more room but i backed off, those speeds are crazy

 

edit* those speeds are fun!

 

127 then the limiter kicked in and i couldnt go anymore.

 

you guys say you been up around 120... how did you guys get around the Governer? my cobalt stops climbing @ about 103.5 mph (somethin around there) and yes I upgraded my wheels and tires to handle it (falkens) and will soon be upgrading my suspension... (i'm going for handling not power for the time being) but i'm still curious as to the differences (or lack depending) that my current and future mods may have done.

 

way to bring back a dead thread

your options that you bought your car with, determined how your car was tuned.... there are two tunes or the LS and LT. Some LS that came with alloys, and some other little things had a higher limiter

 

i hit 165....with the 350Z mod...and 172 with the 10 sec Supra Mod...talk about tunnel vision

 

my lt has the sport package so it has the 16" alloys with better tires and the govenor goes to 127. it has the white face 140 gauges too. i,ve got better tires and wheels now thou.
