DA as in? Elevation? We aren't high up, if anything englishtown is real close to sea level....I got the best results kinda dumping it which gave me the 14.1 run. The 14.5 run a wheel hopped and the 14.6 run i launched off idle and bogged badly.

 

lol go for the goat. cheap and fast

 

....see tod you tuning was one of your threats.... tuning can KILL your car and make it the shittiest race car ever..... BTW.. do NOT buy a tuner program if you dont know how to tune or have someone with experience there to teach you... thats another way to destroy your car. pay a shp to tune it and you WILL trap higher unless you are going up a hill lol.

 

Maf translator = easy for me and probably anyone. Hptuners = huh? lol don't worry. I have an appointment this wed. for a HPTune 60 lbers and 2.6.......the only thing i'm a bit worried about is running on my cracked pulley....well...more of a slice in the pulley and it's kind of bent . It makes noise. However, i'm hoping it will last me 3 more days.

 

What elevation is the track at?

 

Hey, at least I shaved off a LOT of weight on my car. 2894lbs with me in it and half a tank of gas. Without me = 2769 and half tank

 

I have no clue chevypowered but I don't think it's above 3,500 ft.

 

whats the track name? and where is it

 

raceway park englishtown nj

 

elevation is 55' above sea level

Are you shifting fast? doing wot shifting? you should be in the 13's at 102 or so

 

I hear u on the disappointment. That is one of the reasons I sold the SS/SC before I drop to much money into it.....
The GTO with LT's, Catback, Intake and a Tune, I can daydream and run mid high 12's @ 112 on street tires.

 

Don't give up on the Cobalt so easily- heck I have seen enough GTO guy's running 14's and 15's and acting the same way as you and you don't want to have the same results with one of those. First off I would fix your exhaust leak. A leak between the head and manifold can hurt performance with raw air giving the O2 sensor a false reading- not sure if this would have much of an affect at WOT though. Also it could do some engine damage. Your 60" time seems much better than most at 2.2 so I suspect power is down right off the start(since you are not spinning your way to a 2.6 sixty)- this really makes me think that exhaust leak could be a problem. Also you trap speed is not in the 100's because you have such a good sixty foot time compared to other Cobalts running similiar times.

 

Off topic question but why do people call GTO's goats?

 

a tune will make all the difference in the world for this car

 

GOAT = greatest of all time

 

Ok here' sthe weird thing. On my 14.1 run, I had the 2.2 60 ft and a 99.97 trap. On my 14.5 run, i had a 2.497 60ft and a 99.33 trap. On my 14.6 run lol i had a 2.605 60ft and a 99.74 trap. They were all 99 trap speeds. Consistant, but kind of low for my mods.

whatevver, all i know is that i will be getting a 2.6 this wed with tuning

 

Your 60 , unless u really really bone it doent effect mph too much .

Good luck with the 2.6 and tuning and get ur **** back to e-town . I think youll be happy next time around

 

Memphis its deff the translator, My car used to run 10s in third gear AFR, the MAF cannot control as far as high second and third gear. My tune gave me crazy top end. Thats what you are lacking

 

I jsut noticed this thread is a couple of months old.Well I guess it oculd help those still uding the T
