Tofu hits 13's!!!

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

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!

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.

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.
