Who's coming if the weather stays as is?
I'll be hunting for a 13.7, not sure how much faster it will go...

Great night. Finished the clutch master cylinder adjustment, now I can shift at redline.
Nice to meet Elsven, thanks for the push here and there and the company.
Saw a black Ion there, didn't see any times.
The air was good, 3400ft sfter 8pm, track was a little slick.
Here are the slips, I'm quite happy!!!

Wow! Those are some great times N/ADC5!!!
Really good 60 ft's as well.

I really wish I could've gone, but with street tires, and a cold night, I don't think I would've hooked good enough to break a personal best...

Thanks. The air was good, but the biggest factor for me was being able to wring it's kneck.
Holding every gear out until 87-8900 made all the difference.
I make 10whp more than a stock cobalt, so it's all in the revs.
The launches were ok, but the track wasn't stellar at all.
I'm going to edmonron next year for sure, usually drop 3-4/10ths when I go.
You get 2/10ths for free with the altitude,(n/a cars) and usually get 1-2 for traction.
This car will never run 12's, but I might be able to pull a 13.2 there next year.

Nice!!!!
With 26" slicks will you have to shift 4th?
That is a huge advantage on a forced induction car, not having to shift one more time.
The axles in that car need an upgrade, they seem to be the only part GM overlooked.
Are you going to get tuned or anything?
With 230whp or so, you should be able to pull it off with my kinda 1.9 60 ft's.
