Well i wasn't pleased at all with my times at the strip sat. night i think i should be doing better with the mods i have. I have a 2006 cobalt ss/na 2.4 with a K&N typhoon intake 2.5 cat back to duals and a smaller underdrive pulley. I run all royal purple and only 93 octane. No tune yet but getting the B&M shift plus for my automatic car. some help would be appreciated and i know already i need boost!

you already know what would help you out lol

ford

getting a ss/tc?

07LSJ

iTrader: (5)

well yes that would help, but i was refering to simply sc or tc his car

donald

iTrader: (1)

ya i know but to tc it i would have to spend like 3 grand and i don't want to spend that much and i am looking into buying a tc next year when i get taxes back that why i don't want to turbo this one i just want it to be somewhat fast i mean if i could get to the high 13's without boost or low 14's i would be happy

I would definitely turbo that 2.4...2006 = forged rods! 12 sec car with stage 3 turbo kit

Get a custom tune from somebody in your area and skip the shift+

I would also suggest to not buy any more parts and save for the turbo kit (or your next car if you really want to switch)

best you will do is high 14s without boost...

ford

Strangely enough i have a K04 and a manifold coming off the car with the arrival of the S256et Saab manifold and BAM! Heck my chargepiping is still available right now. Those plus cheapo stock LNF intercooler and WIN!

all you need is alittle boost. sc that 2.4 07LSJ is selling his complete sc kit for a steal

donald

iTrader: (1)

ya i know but i don't have the 800 right now to get it but trust me if i did i would

donald

iTrader: (1)

ya i was looking at going stage 3 but with the exhaust and everything it comes out to like 4 grand if thats what im gonna do then i will wait till next years taxes and do that but by then the car will have close to 150 k on it. It is at 110 k right now so im not sure at 150k i would be able to handle that much power

ford

$650-700 and you can have a turbo, bpv, manifold and charge pipes right now.

Make way more power than a s/c too, and can turn it down to low boost for reliability.

Fastest NA on record here is 14.5. that's a 5 speed car on Slicks. IMO it could go faster but you wont see low 14's high 13's without spending as much as you would on a turbo setup.

I've gone 14.94 @94 with just and intake, exhaust, lowering spings on street tires. i have a header and DP now and will have an LSJ TB and tune soon. hoping to get down to 14.7 on street tires. and maybe pick up a set of DRs if im lucky.

take the car for what it is. looks nice but it wont be as fast as an SS2 without some money

donald

iTrader: (1)

well thats fine but i have the intake,exhaust,and springs and street tires but i can't pull even close to you what am i doing wrong

donald

iTrader: (1)

ya if i had the money i would but don't have that kind of cash right now.
Also if i stay na until i sc how would a sc stock header do for me against my 2.4 header and a catless dp from zzp for a sc would work on a automatic i would just need to lengthen my cat back right

nhanson

Choose auto on the options for the downpipe through ZZP.

donald

iTrader: (1)

no i am buying it from a member on here he is giving me a good deal on a lsj header and zzp 2.5 catless dp i know the dp will fit i will just have to modify my catback and i want to know what gains would be had over my 2.4 stock header

i dont think youre doing much wrong. i think the stock tune auto trans is killing your 60's and then you are in FL which is typicall very warm this time of year.

When i made that 14.9 pass it was in 50 degree weather on a sunny day. i think a tuune to your PCM and Trans will wake your car up a bit. see what that nets you before you get to hard on yourself.

Is this the first car youve ever taken to the track?

donald

iTrader: (1)

ya it is i am getting the b&m shift plus will that help it any i got it for 20 so i hope it does but i want to go as far as i can with na before any boost the only things i have left are the header/dp and i want to get the lsj tb and zzp cams and then we will see where that get me and most likely go with an sc build since its cheap and i am getting a ss/tc next year.
Now zzp says you don't need a tune with the cams and the lsj tb so is this true or not either way i am gonna get hp tuned by james(chevycobaltss3)

LS6Rally

you may not "need" a tune, but a tune will almost always help, it would be in your best interest.

I now have a ZZP header/DP a megan cat back. with the K&N and a LSJ-TB going on i a few weeks along with a tune. like you im hoping to go fater, but boost would get me there alot quicker. i have 154,xxx miles. so im not going to boost this motor, however a build could start next year. would go the turbo route with the ZZP cams.

good luck with the car, ill let know now how i feel the LSJ TB works out.

nhanson

iTrader: (1)

LSJ TB is a different scaler rating so a tune is in the best interest.

i have my adapter plate off my car now since the S/C went on

donald

iTrader: (1)

How much do you want for it i can get a used tb for cheap
I don't think i need the wiring harness cause my tb is already 8 pin

Bad time to run at Bradenton. Well, it's great to just get out there and practice but don't expect ur best times is all I'm saying. High 13's or low 14's is aiming too high bro wanting to drop two seconds will be pricey.

Speed cost. How fast can you afford to go?

donald

iTrader: (1)

high 14s would be fine with me or low 15s i know when i get my header and dp and lsj throttle body and cams and a tune i can get to the high 14s

i live 15 minutes from that track. It sucks. plus they spayed some stuff like superglue on the track last time and it ruined my clutch. The guy spraying it accidentally stepped on what he sprayed, and it took his shoes right off!!!lol
what times were you expecting anyways? 15.5-15.9?

LS6Rally

I believe the LSJ TB is Pinned differently then the LE5 TB. you would need to re pin it or ZZP has the 8 to 8 adapter.
