the crank will not fail after 10 psi LOL

I about **** my pants last friday when i was playin around with them, and so did the guy in it. I really wish i could get my exhaust done but money has been tight.

If you guys have specific things you want to see, aside from the idle video shots, 0-60 pulls, and races, is there anything unique or specific that i may be missing? Put your requests in now before i finish this thing =P

The pistons are rated for 300, the rods are only rated for 250.





Do you have the stock exhaust still? I'd like to see some up close pictures of everything. Maybe I missed it, but what size turbo again?

Oh here's the link again to a dyno vid and project pics..

http://www.alpine-developments.us/cobalt_dyno.htm

Oh and we did also verify the 2.2L kit will bolt up to the 2.4L engine with no problems. The 2.4L owners have the choice between our excellent Piggyback ECU or buying a tuner style kit for less and finding their own tuning solution like the HPTuner.

Well i was bored, so i called up my buddy and asked him to race me on my lunch break. these short clips show it. Hes got a 06 2.2 with intake, exhaust, body kit, and rims. If you dont believe it just from this, your retarded. and again.. THIS IS NOT THE REAL VIDEO. Im still getting footage. This was done on my PocketPC, not a great camera at all...
