Drag radials and throttle control

 

Drag radials aren't cheap are they? Throttle control is an acquired skill as most people just mash the pedal lol

 

They aren't badly priced actually. Just wear much faster. It's no different than running a 600whp rwd. You run street tires, you're gonna spin. You mash the throttle, you're gonna spin. It's just a little more controllable.

 

With a lot more ppl starting to do these high HP builds there will be tips, trick and parts to come out to help us plant the power

 

Guess I'll have to be running them on both the truck and car in the future lol

 

I think the car will be faster

 

Taylor is running around 520whp on 23psi on drag radials and I don't think he's hurtning too too bad for traction. But his car is well set up. That plays a large part also.

 

the car should be faster in the long run with the turbo but not in the short run

Taylors car does handle well

 

Yes and people are going to get better at setting them up too

 

I'm still breaking on my motor so still on a gay 15psi so can't comment on any traction issues yet. But the car is pulling pretty good considering. Gets better everyday as the motor loosens up

 

Oh ya when I had my built 4.3 it had so much friction for such a long time then as it loosened up it started to rev faster and then it was a night and day diff. I don't know how ppl build an engine then just bag on it they need time to work in

 

Agreed. That's why I haven't turned up the Bewst yet. But the anticipation is killing me lol.

 

How much longer do you have to wait?

 

Just paid $200 to get my steering fixed again after having the recall done just over a year ago. Not happy!

 

I'll turn it up to 20ish at 1000km

 

Ok so how long till 1000km?

 

Well I did 400km in a week. So probably another week.

 

the break in on my car would probably be a week for 1000 km's since my parents live 400 km's away and thats just one way lol

I wouldn't have paid for that fix since the recall clearly failed........again

 

I know I'm bringing it up with GM Monday I just needed to get back to work

 

I'll get the recall done sometime this summer when I'm not busy lol

 

Hey guys. Looking to put in the good old short throw shifter in the Cobalt. What are the favorite brands? Its a 2010 LT.

 

Twm if you want a very good one that isn't cheap

 

Thats what I was looking at actually. Lots of different options like knobs and color too. Thanks bud.

 

TWM are great shifters, just remember to get the bushings as well. I got the M1 Abrams weighted shift knob in gunmetal and it definitely helps on the quick throws. Just be careful, that ****** ices up pretty good in the winter time, so if its a DD... make sure you have gloves for the morning. Thankfully, mine is just a summer bitch now.

 

Gloves are for pansies lol
