Cobalts sets a new record!

Well i finally got to the track tonight. I had 2 goals, not break, and run consistent high 12's as i knew traction would be non-existent. Well i achieved both!! Just a re-cap, with the 60's i pulled tonight, my previous set-up would net me 13.20's @105-106. Well listed below is what i got. I gain of .4 and 2mph!!! I also got a KILLER in car video of one of my passes. I will post it when i get it from the guy who filmed it.

Thanks! I guessed before we got there a 12.6 w/traction 12.8 w/o and a 108-109 trap speed.

I would have done better had my ******* hadn't left the laptop w/HPTuners back at the shop

I needed to change my tune just a tad. Needed 2 more degrees timing and a little more fuel since it was 52degrees out

Awesome rob congrats. I'm going to the track today with my "looney tune" to try for some low 13 second passes at 107 ish lol...traction will be an issue...took my friends for a ride and with 3 ppl in the car they said...jesus this is fast. Also with that lil change all things seems to be running great...I'll give a full report tonight!

Where have you been? Have you kept up with his progress at all? Please do a search. He is on Hoosier Quick Time Pro's, as been stated probably a hundred times. Our stock tires wouldn't even begin to have traction with the power he's putting down.
