last night times
i took the beater car up to intense yesterday and had them install a stage 4 kit with 2.8" pulley. last night i decided to stop in at the strip and see what it could do:
my best was 13.204 @ 107
then i ran 3 other runs with one 13.5 and two 13.4's
the 13.2 run was with a semi-soft launch (already got one busted cobalt, don't need both of them down) because i didn't want to risk killing the stock clutch. i would say it's got enough topend to throw some dr's on and with a hard launch you could turn 13flat all day long, without sacrificing too much of the speed. the mods on timmy are header, exhaust, stage 4 with 2.8" pulley and welfare airbox mod.
i thought the car would start falling some on the top end, but anything over 4k pulls hard until you run out of revs

hey man that's a great time!!! so you mean to tell me that you got that thing to hook up without drag radials?! Tell me how ya did man.... maybe i can get a little practice but i can't go without serious wheel hop and one day i'm gonna snap one of these halfshafts lol..... i bet if you hooked up, your trap should be somewhere around mine (110.4mph)
I like to see you guys with the Cobalts running times around mine with mods that probably cost considerably less money than the $4,300 I had to put into my drivetrain alone for this swap.... almost makes me wanna buy a Cobalt

the best thing to help your launch is just practice. and remember sometimes you go faster by going slower off the line.
