Just to let you guys know...for all the people that want to twincharge, there is a shop that sells Twincharges (RL owner) kit...only thing you guys would have to do is modify the intake piping from the turbo to the s/c in case you wanted to do this before the face off...

Including 1/8 mile and quarter mile times not necessary but idea to give 2.2/2.4ss a better chance against the Civics who are gonna run faster quicker quarter mile times.

A 2200 lb street Civic/CRX/Hatch can run 12's easily with around 200whp. And the launch is soooo much better because the car only has 150ft/lbs tq at best. Unless they are using an H22 block, of course. So don't talk **** when the cars you'd be racing are more than likely faster by a long shot. God help you if a turbo'ed Honda came to the meet. You'd lose, everytime...especially against a B16a Turbo, because the car will be pullin 1.5 60' times. And in drag racing, no one gives a crap if your car can pull hard the last 300 ft of the track...by that time, you've already lost. I like Cobalts, but Cobalt owners have no place for talkin **** against other tuners. I've seen nothing out of the Cobalt that a Honda hasn't already done-->and that includes EVERYTHING. If it's a decent meet, you'll prolly see a few 10 sec. street Honda's. It's not uncommon. Show some respect. And YES, there are NA Honda's that can take a maxed out M62 blown Balt and beat them by lengths. Did you know that an H22 can put out over 250whp with pump gas in NA form? Did you also know that a K20A can put out as much as 275whp on pump gas in NA form? These numbers are better than alot of blown setups running 17psi with all the supporting bolt-ons. Let's not forget that Honda's are geared much lower for a much faster acceleration...which again..is the point to drag racing. Don't talk ****..you have no right to say such things against Honda's. Give the Balt about 5 years of R&D, then you can be disrespectful.

We're waiting on tracks to release their schedules at this point before we decide. We won't get a location until somewhere in the October time frame.
