ive had my car for about 3 weeks and ran it once i hit a 14.8 in like 98 degree heat its stock i just put a aem cone filter i wanna know is that a good time or badd time

 

SS/SC??? I'd say your should be running around 14.5ish If its a S/C but other wise pretty close.

 

What kind of car do you have?

 

07 ss/sc

 

nope, not that great

 

sc or tc? to be honest if its an ss/sc or tc its pretty average but i would consider it kinda high.

 

07 cobalt ss/sc

 

lets see your 60ft, 1/8th e.t, 1/8thmph and 1/4 trap. Those #s will help "see" your pases

welcome aboard

 

my 60ft was 2.1 and the other stuff i really dont remember i didnt keep the timeslip

 

Take a look at your 60' time and what was your trap speed?? SS supercharged??



edit damn I'm slow,

with a 2.1 60' you should be faster than 14.8

 

i dont remember my trap speed just the 1/4 mile et and my 60ft and yea its supercharged


thanx man glad to be here

so u think i shouldve hit faster o and my reaction time was a .505

 

Heat soak? These cars like it cool. 2.1 60 ft isnt bad at all. Lots of variables at play, temp, track cond, how well you shifted from 1st to 2nd(aka how many times did it bang the limiter), did it hit the limiter in 3rd through traps, 14.30-14.60 seems to be the norm, but I have read about slower and quicker.

 

not bad if it was that hot. thats what i ran fist time out in the SS, it was also about that temp and humid.

the temp will play a huge part in your time. my worst time in 97 degrees with 80% humidity was 14.5 @99 on a cool night with the temp around 76-80 i average about 14.00 @100-103( my 60 foot sucks lol.)

 

yea it was real hot that day and i shifted all my gears like around 5000 rpms i dont wanna push it that much at least not yet

 

you will meet all kinds of folks here, dont be discourged by some and dont get caught up into what everyone else is doing for mods. READ and RESEARCH with the search bar.

5000 shift points? low miles? it'll pick up with higher shift points.

 

yea i ordered sum stuff should get in a couple of weeks i ordered a injen CAI, DC sports exhaust and pacesetter headers so well see whats up with that

 

you probly could have got alil more out of it then. avrage time for stock is 14.8-14.6 with a few freak drivers running 14.5-14.3. with a few new drivers iv even seen mid 15s. lol

 

reaction time only matters during bracket racing, the clock doesn't start on the 1/4 till you break the beam.


edit: damn slow again, any way shifting at 5000 is just a tad early you'll get better with each pass...

 

there are alot of varying opinions about cold air intakea on these cars. IMO, the air box mod is sufficient for a mildly modded engine, plus plastic desipates heat better than steel. exhaust upgrades,aok.

 

so what do u recomend for a intake

also by like friday or saturday im gonna order more parts like a bbk throttle body with spacer a programmer and hopefully drag radials

 

does bbk make a throttle body for these? Big $ if they do, throttle by wire. Do search for "air box mod how to". The only programmer as in hand held is by HP tuners. check there website or do a search on here.

 

well i found a bbk throttle body for 400 plus shipping

 

dont buy it. I went to the bbk website and they dont even list a cobalt for parts, let alone a tb for it. someone is lying to you. Buy from the vendors on this site. they pretty much all know thier cobalt stuff. I would trust these guys over ebay or anywhere else.

 

its not on ebay though its on andysautosport.com thats where i found it but yeah im probaly gonna buy sumthing else instead of the throttle body

 

man, you need to learn your car....good thing your here!
