Mods are in the vid. This guy ran a great time for a modded airbox, mbc set to 18psi, and no 2nd cat.

thats pretty sweet man... not too far off that viper.

 

lol that viper dialed in a 11.9, it was bracket racing so the ms3 got a head start. Trust me lol its FAR off from a viper, that viper is gotta be in the 120 mph range

 

its a turbo 4 banger get a boost controller and your gonna be decentlyfast

 

lol i run the exact mods now except i have a few extra things like an actual intake, solid motor mounts, springs. However he has a real racepipe i just have the stock cat hollowed out.

 

is the race pipe bigger? i would assume so, do they have any tuning available for your car yet?

 

not to shabby at all for 18psi.

 

yea its a 3 inch. Mines the stock 2.5. As for tunning there is procedure, cpe, xede and cobbs ap is coming out towards sema. The biggest problem with the car is the cam driven direct inject fuel pump that is being maxed out right around 350whp. Once some1 cracks that some1 will crack a block and find out how strong these lil ms3 really are.

 

i see, what kinda of power is that car putting out 280's

 

a simple boost control removes the 1st and 2nd gear boost limits set from the factory, thats why it helps so much down low. I went to the track after my boost controler and went a shitty 13.9 @ 105 lol. I launched the car like i always do to get my 2.0-2.1 60 except this time it was tire spin through 1st, i let off and bogged, shifted into 2nd spun up 2nd and bogged again. I did that 3 times and went home pissed. The guy in the video is launching from 2500rpm on slicks and having traction problems, he said he is dumping the 24.5 slick and going to a 26. My next visit to the track is going to be idle launches

nope, dynoed 311whp and 364wtq, its not a high dyno either, cause he dynoed 260 with the test pipe and airbox mod, which is on par with every1 else, then he turned up the boost to 18 and hit 309 followed by 311. The reason the car is not faster is because the stock boost limit after 5500 rpm is still there. The car redlines at 6800 but theres no point to taking it there. Once a standback coems out with throttle control i see him going into the 11 with a tbe/ic upgrade

 

all that power and only 107 traps seems kinda off to me...

 

that much power on slicks i would think should be even quicker than that yet too.

could be hitting low 12s for sure.

 

i mean the guys running the same e.t's over here with 30 less whp and trapping 3 more mph

 

ms3 with the average driver is around 3300-3400lbs. Add **** gearing via boost limits after 5500rpm and you got a crappy powerband and a **** load of tq to try to control with your right foot

keep in mind the average bone stock ms3 makes 240whp and only traps 100-101. A cobalt with 240whp is trapping 104-105

 

i thought they were the same weight as us ok it makes more sense now thanks for clearing that up

 

lol the ms3 is a lil porker, along with the new caliber srt4. It seem liek all the new cars are getting heavier and heavier. I miss my specv that weighed in at 2740 with me in it. What are you guys? right around 2950?

 

usually right around 3k with a driver.

or 3050 with a fat driver

 

im around 2900 with me in it at the track

 

sigh im not eactly weight reduction myself lol. 6'5 215lbs.

 

strip that pig. I just foolow ano's how to before i go to the track usually saves me around 100 or so pounds

 

6'2 225 here (was 260 2 months ago)

dieting is a great form of weight reduction lol.

i figure i spend the time to strip 30 pound interior pieces out of my car on track days...
so i better do the same for me haha

 

damn you guys are all huge wtf do you they feed you im only 5'8 130 skinny people ftmfw

 

I worked hard during highschool to bulk up to join the RAAF.

few years in the military helped to fill me out too hehe.

 

im just real tall so i cant really loose that much weight. I see like 20lbs MAX if i starve myself for 2-3 months lol....but um now i like food. As for removing stuff from the car....ehh i leave that as a last resort, meaning when i run out of mods/money lol
