Mixture of 1, 3 and a little R&D we've done.

 

Vaughn, until you get on their level, you probably don't need solid lash adjusters lol

 

Awesome Awesome job! Car sounds great. waiting for track vids!

 

Thank you! There won't be any track videos till probably October as there are no races for the Hot Rod car till then. Most of the time, the team is so busy working on the car that video takes the bench. But if things change...you know where to look! ;-)

 

I've talked to Shaver and am trying to put truth to some theories. If you could PM me back I'd be really grateful

 

yes i want in on this discussion as well

 

You wait your turn

 

Armmclure, I replied to your PM...but I'll send this out on here also...

While I would love to provide as much info as I can, I'm limited in what the team has allowed me to discuss with the obvious competitive industry that this is. Not to mention, this is honestly a little bit of a language barrier that I'm trying to overcome by learning Portuguese. I will say this, the lifters and rockers were upgraded to an aftermarket option, however, intake are stock . The cam profiles / anything specific about cams is a question that I can't answer...mostly the head in general because that's what sets these motors apart from the others. A lot of time and money went into these engines...we have 9 original GM Racing motors for the 5 cars and have 2 R&D motors in progress.

Sorry I couldn't really help out more on this area guys, but I REALLY thank you for reading this thread...and hope that you all continue to follow!

 

I wanna know what some of those sweet goodies are on the front of the engine bay. Big intercooler? Fuel cell? Meth tank?

 

For the blue hot rod...

Fuel cell, liquid to air intercooler, water tank w/ ice for intercooler, swirl tank, battery. 95% of the entire weight of the car is in the front. You can literally pick the car off the ground by yourself in the back.

Oh...and look what's at the track right now .

 

Few more pictures

 

Good lord!

 

Couple more from today...enjoy!

Now you might remember that Red Hot Rod car right.....well....it's changing just a bit












If you haven't figured it out already....


RWD ECOTEC COBALT IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Do you guys run in the NHRA competitions? If you guys do, are you guys here in Pomona this weekene?

 

As much as I would kill to be there right now...we are based in Florida and our cars would not fit into many / any classes that the big NHRA events hold. We primarily race on the east coast.

 

Keep it up, looking good!

 

Always like seeing what you are doing and keeping the Cobalt name somewhat alive.

 

Little update on the white Cobalt.







So what's next you ask? Now the car goes back to the regular shop and we start to put all the pieces together. Still going to take a little bit...but things are looking good again finally!
