We did multiple runs

1st run-274hp,231 torque
2nd run-285hp,241 torque
3rd run-281hp, 238 torque

Had multiple runs after varying 10hpai we were fine tuning afr but hp was suffering due to heat soak on last 3 pulls. We know some areas to work on so will be going back once we do some research on areas to improve and hopefully go on a less humide day than today. This is a dynomite dyno, for an example he printed off what the equivalent on a dyno jet would be- equivalent was 345hp and 280 torque.

Mr detail was great, would recommend them to anyone

Also big thanks to mark for taking time to tune. Also thanks for coming out jon

Jon feel free to post the vids

Sorry bud, I'm going to stop you right there.

You're calling a Cavalier a "chicks car" while your driving a 2007 "Cavalier" - seriously look at the 1995-2005 Cavalier coupes, and tell me they don't look like the Cobalts...
(they also carried over running gear in base form)

Besides, I understand you might know some women who love Cobalts - using your logic wouldn't that make a Cobalt a "chicks car"?

I sometimes ask myself if these types of labels are not made by guys who are worried their "wang" is too small...
So they have to buy a vehicle that's big or lacking in style/comfort to say something like;
hey that's a chick car, this here is a man's car
Lets see from my experience Firebird's, Sunfire's, Cavalier's & Cobalt's are all labeled as "chick cars" - if this is so, I think women have great taste in cars; as I like them all.

I am only aware of two types of cars that have been specifically marketed to women;
base model mustangs, and (1970-1981) Firebird Esprit's - those two justifyable examples not withstanding, I hate the label.

What I'd really like explained to me is how both the Cavalier/Sunfire which ranged in powere from 120hp (2200) to 150hp (Quad4/Twin Cam) is seen as woman's car, while the late model Civic from the same period which tops out at (what) 120hp (in Si trim) somehow does not have the female connotations associated with it!!??
I mean even the late model Celica's & Integra's are besting (personally observed) 17 seconds in the quarter mile without major modifications...


To the best of my knowledge the Cavalier nameplate was dropped purely so that the automotive critics would start with a clean slate instead of comparing it against the outgoing J-body platform which was being replaced...

I know for a fact my brother's Cavalier would lay the smack down on many Cobalt SS's...

I do believe I have never called a cobalt a chicks car! that's just plain mean! now a civic or cervix as I call it, is a chicks car. b/c you need the aformentioned female reproductive organ to own one! it's like a prerequiste!!!

I've never called any of them "chick cars", only heard people call them that.

Here's a thought to ponder;
If they truly were chicks cars, wouldn't that make it easier to pick up women with them?

I thought I tried to start a new rule for this thread;

I vote for a new rule in the calgary chat thread;
  • no talk of peoples genitals... err, "pubic region's"

...

Incidentally;
I've known several guys who owned Civic's, albeit normally they were the CRX version...
(which where kinda cool in my books - even if they were still gutless!)
I also know a guy who owns a VERY mean (non-CRX) in Edmonton...

In my books, it's all about either V8+RWD or 4cylinder+compact.

Ok, so for some reason in my own convoluted mind I thought that Chris's reply was a post of Graham's

whoops

So, it's looking like Chris, Mark, Mark's buddy (Cody w/Neon RT), and myself will be in attendance.
Frankly I'd expect we will be about hte only FWD cars in the group - I can't recall seeing any in the past (then again last years stand out car in my mind was an unrestored 1926(?) business coupe or something to that effect...

This is a free car show (one of probably few, since they have a sponsor that covers all the car show insurance - which is generally what the car show fee goes towards).
They want you to pre-register - I pre-registered & got my confirmation on June 6th.

If anyone else from here is thinking of attending, please PM jrmotosports 88 to meet up with us before getting into the parking lot ~ this way we can all park together;
otherwise you will probably be parked between two musclecars, and (likely) get absolutely zero respect.

Mark - check your email's.
