Just for fun, I'll be out with a guy this Sat at the strip that has a 3' pulley, if anyone still cares (not that there should be any doubt that this was fallacious info) i'll let you know what the difference is between our two cars. I'm betting it'll be pretty significant though since he beat a Rousch Mustang the other day.

 

Old news, let the aftermarket catch up. I think he may be thinking towards 300hp off the M62. I doubt that will happen with this s/c?!

 

I started laughing when I got to this part of the 'article':

"This backpressure continues to build until it’s many times that of atmospheric and in the case of the RL 12 times so. Thus you have more air entering the motor and it results in more power than it would naturally aspirated. "

Gee....many times that of atmospheric. 12 times an atmosphere (14.7psi) is 177 psi, or 162 PSIG. I was unaware that the CSS and R/L blowers cranked up 162lbs of boost, most impressive...

Since this yahoo cannot seem to tell the difference between and atmosphere and a single psi, I find his self-proclaimed expert status to be laughable. As it turns out, I am an engineer and spend most of my time specifying and installing turbo diesal engine generators. Occasionally I deal with supercharged engines and even the more rare twin-charged engine. I am extremely familiar with forced induction design, both in theory and in practical installations. His tirade sometimes comes close to actual real theory, but his examples seem to be without merit. It is apparent that he has read what someone else (who had less than a strong grasp on the subject matter) wrote and regurgitated it back on the forum.

Let this thread die, it provides no useful information and is actually promoting misinformation.

 

ok i allready found a ssmaller pollie to push about 18 psi and a exhaust intake branks lowering kit i found alot for my 06 SS so i dont no wat hes talken about

 

DUDE.. this was from 8/05/2004

 

by now there is much more you can mod

 

240 is the what the stage II kits are listed at.

 

I read that post twice and this is what ihave to say about it,

BS!!!!!!!



If we listened to what the alleged experts say, the GTP's would still be running 12 sec 1/4's!


We have already proved that BS article is wrong with proven dyno results.

Oh well, believe what you want

 

 

is it worth getting the cold air intake & a new exhaust to get a few more HP's?

 

PLEASE close this thread. We all know it is BS.

 

Im not getting them. Not worth the hassle and possible problems you can get. The SC will pull the air through the stock airbox no problem and our exhaust and cat is already highflow. You might get a bit more hp.. or you might lose some depending on the setup.

 

if these cars aren't easily tunable then they wouldn't have a build book on how to get your cobalt over 500 HP! That's right...OVER 500HP!!!!! You should read it guys...GM has pdf format of it on their website...but of coarse it is for the 2.2 L and Not for the 2.0 S/C or the 2.4 SS!
