Take pics of your car so we can check out your new wheels! lol

Question...

When it comes to Meth kits what "bar" do we need? My DevilsOwn Progressive controller is all messed up. My start and full settings do no match up with my actual boost readings.

Right now I want my spray to start at 5psi and be at a full spray at 15psi.

On the controlller my start dial is set around 9psi and my full dial is set to 24psi. So its all messed up.

So I don't know what it is doing. My status led flashes 3 times so I think it is set to 3 bar or voltage.

YELLOW - This is the Status led
On power up the unit will blink the yellow led indicating what BAR setting the unit is setup for.
2 blinks is 2 BAR
2 blinks & 1 fast blink 2.5 bar
3 blinks is 3 BAR or voltage

preston jim told me he had a 14.9 run and a 15.0 run all with terrible 60' times.

i also ran my ion for the first time.
first few runs were terrible but i managed a 14.7 @ 97 mph with a 2.5 60' which was ok in my book for now.

we were in the 14s all day my quickest run was a 14.198 that counts other than that i red lighted on my best run my red light was -.001 and ran a 13.943 i think jims quickest was 15.0 cause he couldnt get traction with his nos because of not having his window switch.

so curt did you get a chance to take a better look at your tranny yet whats the damage....

its always going to be something, whenever you build something, its going to look for the weakest link and its going to fail.

Sorry to hear about that Curt. Are you glad that I didn't show up w/stickies for your first run so you could end your day really early?

Just picked these up yesterday, what do you think?




And I am going to put these on so that I can break something! There is not much left on them but they were free.

Hey guys, as a rep from T4B in Illinois, obviously the better club, :P j/k, I thought I'd kind of throw the idea out there, of us getting a T4B-TR meet sometime next summer or something. Like a BBQ and a track day/chill party or something, just something to have fun with and all.

We're relatively close and we all have a common love, so why not, eh?

actually tyler the sticky tires would of probably saved me.

I tried the 2 step on the other side of the track... the side i was running on I had good results and good traction but not to much... then right when the light went i slipped the clutch and then it wheel hopped and i quickly pushed the clutch in... but it was to late... most likely broke the case on the front mount again.

problem is i dont have the money to do another trans so now im debating on things right now...

im in a fair amount of debt right now and considering chapter 7 bankrupcy and let the car go but not without taking everything of the car.... then sell off the parts that I couldnt use on another car and hold onto what i can use and from there probably go back to a cavalier with a ecotec this time and go from there.... back when i had my cavy it never let me down no matter the abuse.... I put that car thru so much hell it wasnt even funny and now the cobalt cant even hold up to the same. Plus replacement trans are 1/4 the cost of a new f35 LSD trans.

IDK tho im really lost on what i wanna do at this time right now. Im gonna wait till I can get more info on the possibilities of what i may be able to do to replace it

its a lot to think about right now. Theres a lot of stuff in the car that i want for a future car cause im not leaving the gm tuner crowd. I might just be taking a step back and pick a cavy again. I love the Ecotec platform just not the shitty choice in tranny they put in these cars. I for sure know off the top of my head want the BOV from my turbo setup, wideband, stereo, injectors, meth injection, and im sure a few other small things. its a long list of what i have and what i would need to put in its place so its a long call that needs to be performed quickly if I make the choice
