Went to the track tonight, I'm VERY impressed with this car so far. With the addition of my motor mount and ZZP 3.0" pulley I went a best of 13.85 @ 101 !! Track prep was PERFECT on that run, and I only got a slight, slight amount of wheel hop @ the top of first. This leaves me to believe that once we can cure wheel hop completely, 13's won't be a problem at all. I also got a 14.0 run as well, also w/ marginal wheel hop. I am going to be purchasing the tranny mount and control arm bushings....I am confident at least a 13.6 could be had. Later in the night ricers started getting water all over the staging area, and as a result I received wheel hop (even w/ the motor mount) almost all the way through 2nd gear, and subsequently my times were slower.

Also, this was with: Stock exhaust, BALD stock tires w/ stock wheels, 1/4 tank left, all launches were done launching no more than 1,500 rpms.

Here are my slips ( in chronological order):






Mods are: K&N intake, NKG BKRE7's @ .35, ZZP 3.0" pulley, ZZP Motor mount, B&M shifter

 

Nice job! Way to show off the best mod of all....the driver mod!

 

your 60ft was sick! almost a flat 2.0. Damn good! need sticker tires.

 

congrats! I was just about to put a post on who would be the first

 

Thanks Practice, practice, practice!

 

First slip is hard to see, here's a bigger pic of it:

 

Wow, awesome numbers!

 

great runs catn wait till i get my tranny mounts, engine mounts, Torque brace, and some really good tires

 

Sweet. Can't wait to catch up with you. Damn I could use a bit of extra cash right now..

 

nice run tofu. how far do you live from the track? you seem to be practicing alot.

 

I'm about 30-45 minutes away from the 1/4 Mile (Houston Raceway Park) and about 15 minutes from the 1/8th Mile track (Houston Motorsports Park). These cars are definitely not 1/8th mile runners, so I haven't been there yet w/ the Cobalt .

 

Nice job Tofu!

So with the 3.0 pulley you are pushing how much boost exactly?

Looks like the stage II will be close to a second quicker in the 1/4 mile!

 

nice Tofu Good times.

 

Great job man , way to drive that car . Im dying for the dragstrips to open back up in the un-great north .

 

wow, very impressive times. although i don't see you pulling a 13.6 without better tires. it took that 2.0 60ft. to get it. also, notice your 330' was a 5.9 on that run. that means you got into 2nd pretty good too with minimal/no spin/hop. with radials or better, you could def. pull some sick times. but without a really good 60ft., i don't see anymore 13sec times. very impressive tho! keep it up.

 

First to do what??

Good going Tofu.

 

Nice Job! Now just upgrade the exhaust.

 

That's f*ckin sweet. Good job. I can't wait to see your time when you get the other mounts.

 

How much vibration do you have with the poly mount ?

 

great job tofu, keep it up

 

+ 1

.....

 

WOW, 2.0 60ft's are impressive on FWD cars without radials or slicks. I can't wait for the damn track to open now, haha.

 

good job I would also like to know what kinda vibration the mount is giving yah

 

Tofu, i wanna see how i can do now that i have the transmission mount on, hell, i'll let you drive my car, hahaha

 

What motor mounts are you running? Also do you get lotsa vibs? Are you running the boost bypass mod with the 3" Pulley? Colin
