So if we get ass raped we get ass raped... as I said, it will give the cobalt guys a reason to step up and go turbo and forget the stupid s/c. Maybe next rematch might not be the same.

 

well, i doubt you wil surprise a bunch of 11 second cars with a bunch or mid 13 second cars.

also, have you ever seen an srt-4 meet? i don't think they know the meaning of "bad turnout". i bet they would drive from different states to cme to this.

 

Can I bring the lowly Cavalier? Should trap in the 125mph range with the t60 next season

 

lol why not

 

Then they come from different states, ah well...Why punk out because they are gonna have faster cars, or be worried about losing?? Who knows, maybe I'll meet some cool peeps with some good ideas/suggestions on how to fix some of our traction issues or whatever. I'm all about meeting new people and having a good time.

I could care less if I win or lose, just as long as the other person is a decent sport about the whole thing. It's all just for fun, and to see what you can do as well as what kind of local competition there is. ****, if ya'll were worried about them making GM look bad or something to that effect, I could call a couple local F-bodies that would blow the doors off anything they can bring out there SRT wise. There are some SICK F-bodies out this way.

If ya'll don't want to come, then don't show up. I'll be there, hopefully I'll be put up against something comparable to how my car will be running, if not, then I get beat, wouldn't be a first, and damn sure won't be the last.

 

I wish I had money for cams and ported head/supercharger/throttle body....I'd so be in the 12's on bald stock pirellis

 

Go get em' Andy. We'll make it an annual thing. I gaurantee the gap will close more and more each year...

 

lol. Hopefully I'll have the new motor in by this event. See if I can bust out some low 11 sec 1/4's. Cause that setup should be netting me @500whp.
turbonetics ball bearing 60-1
hks evo 272 regrind on the cams
ferrea dual springs, ti retainers, mild exhaust porting intake polishing
neutral balance shafts
forged H-beam rods (macias)
Diamond forged pistons 9.5:1
ARP Mainstuds
ARP head studs
Cometic head gasket
Bates oil pump gears
(all but 3 items are in my possesion or will be by next week) guess what my winter project will be lol)
also exedy hyper stage III clutch til I do the auto swap.
other things I'm working on for next month
MSD standalone, racepack gauges.

**** if anything bring rob and his camaro (98cobra68camaro) he sold his cobalt but still has his 68 camaro that runs mid 9's on motor and capable of high 8s on spray... he did used to own a cobalt

 

Finally someon porting/polishing their head...I heard our head was pretty restrictive...And we need to do something about our intake manifolds/aftercoolers

 

Oh yeah, working on a new manifold soon. Hopefully next weekend if I get the intake manifold flange in from gm in time. just gonna make a 3" - 3.5" log style with short runners and ditch the stock air/water setup and run a bigger fmic

 

Damn skippy. lol...By the way, your exhaust looks sick man.

You go BOI!!! GM ALWAYS has some back-up around the corner.

 

Cobalts and SRT4s arent in the same category lol..

STIs & EVOs yes
STIs & SRT4s yes
EVOs & SRT4s yes

But this plan does sound good lol

 

I still think it would be a good time man, I don't care about heads up racing, more towards a bracket event to show off driver skill. But hey at least put 2 american cars head to head. I chill with mostly srt owners anyway, but I do gain some knowledge on what I can do to my car to improve traction and power, hence my turbo swap.

 

Until the Turbo swaps and "proper" builds become more popular. I think that once the turbo swaps and supporting mods for those come together, there will be many surprised people. Even the SS/SC's have more potential then what has been seen. All the youngsters driven em just don't know anything about supporting mods, they just wanna do cheap go fast mods and expect everything to fall into place.

 

If it's a Bracket Event you guys don't need to worry about losing to the faster car, you have to worry about losinig to the better driver....

Has anyone here EVER bracket raced before...lol

 

bracket racing would be totally different. i don't think that was mentioned till like teh 4th page, after the arguments started unless i just missed that part.

 

It's rare that E-Town will ever set up an event that is just heads up.....it's usually bracket unless it's a T&T night

 

I know what bracket racing is.

I don't care what kind of racing, I think it will be a good time no matter what. Meet new people, talk bad about Hondas, good times had by all

 

Very well said man! The potential for the LSJ honestly hasn't been tapped deeply at all. It seems like everyone wants to "go fast" but doesn't want to do everything or spend the money necessary to get there. Making big power isn't cheap and that's the bottom line. An ss/sc can be turned into a very comparable street car, especially on the highway... When swapping out the sc for a turbo and a full build the potential of the platform is going to open up the eyes of many. For anyone to say car A isn't in car B's league I have to strongly disagree. The SRT is a great platform and I have nothing against them but it has its downfalls as well... number one is the lack of an effective tuning application for the mildly modded SRT's out there. I've been hoping HPTuners would unlock the Dodge pcm for a couple years now but at this point those hopes look like nothing more than pipe dreams.

 

im so tired guys

me sleepy

 

lol.
But yeah man, I went with a quick and cheap turbo setup just off the bat to see what it would do, and for the money I spent (which was much less than all the other s/c bullshit I did) the car is at least 2x faster and the tq #'s are rediculous.
I had always intended for this to be a bracket racing event. But in the morning for dial in test and tune, do some heads up runs for fun of course.

 

ok so now we are talking about bracket racing. Once again alot more srt4 are going to be on slicks makign launcing more consistent than the cobalt guys who willl most likly show up with stock tries and hop to the 330. The idea makes sense, just the wrong cars were choosen. You really should no pick the srt4, if anything pick golfs, yes there are fast oens out there but there are alot of faster srt4s. The typical golf runs what the typical ss runs. mid to high 13s. Most of them imo are chipped with tbe trapping over 100mph.

 

Im interested. Def set something up for next year. By then ill have 2.9, ZZP tensioner, 42#, 1 step colder plugs, ZZP header/ down, Dual pass, and H/E....o and a custom tune. I have half the shitt, just not installed.

later

 

But there isn't really any SS vs. Golf rivalry, at least none I know of lol. Even though most modded SRT 4's are faster than most modded Cobalts, it would still be a cool time just meeting new people and having a few runs down the track. EVO vs STI day the EVO's almost always come out on top but that doesn't mean its not a fun time.

 

count me in
