Last saturday night I didn't see anyone out. I did see a white cobalt with lettering on the windshield, but don't know if thats any of you guys.

I didn't know ANYONE out anymore, maybe its time I grow up

Well, my wife it out of town for 4 months finishing up her degree. So I'm kind of reliving my childhood a bit! Nothing scandelous, but being out till 3-4AM messing with my cars was pretty much an every weekend thing for me.

I don't really go downtown too often nowadays. I did a little bit when I was younger, but haven't been for a long time.

Happy Wed to all you Iowa folks.

I hear Des Moines has a new Dyno Jet at a place called Wrenches, not sure about the name.

Yah, they (Wrenches) bought a Dynojet 248. Thats also the place I talked about in earlier posts about hosting meets on Saturday night. The guy who owns the place name is Kelly, and he's a pretty stand up guy.

Hopefully I don't get in trouble or something, but theres a discussion going on about it here:

He's discussed pricing etc.

I just don't know jack about these cars, let alone a supercharged Cobalt. What do you expect you're putting down?

Dynoing my 09 is pretty much a waste I guess, they all seem to put about the exact same # down stock.

I hear it's all about the dyno. Each one reads different so who know what it'll read. I just want to see 250 for my car, GM sez 240 so I hope to be close. If not, then tweak it some to see if I can hit the 250 mark.

I'd be nice to see how far off from a stock TC Cobalt it would be.
