cand find the link anymore but i found a ton of other ones looking for that one... you can get a new one for around 50 just check the sticker... most will be 2005 which are only good through 2010 but for 50 bucks cant complain...
i just ran my car 2 weeks ago and i was gonna go to Famoso this fri and run again... its cooloer temps and night time racing from 7pm till 12pm and you get in upwards of 5 runs and its sea level. i think ill just skip that trip go to this one more as a spectator (cuz i love to watch bad ass cars run lol, and ill vid for everyone) and if your racing well i know im this way anyway im all nervous and running around like a chicken with my head cut off changing tires, tire pressure, toon, gas.... way to much to actually have fun... ya know? or is it just me?

13.1 was on dr's but i launched at like 4k like i used to when it was sc'd but it just kept bogging down then taking off... i needed to launch higher but ran out of time/passes. never even made it to high boost i think i squeezed in 18lbs at one point at the top of third but other than that they were all 16psi runs (4) then on my last run i lowered the tire pressure upped the launch control to 5k and i just blew the tires off in first so i never found the sweet spot...
but i drove 2hrs to a track iv never been to, on dr's by myself made 5 runs and drove home with the car in one piece so all in all it was a spur of the moment but successful trip! it was also the first time since iv went t/c so it was a mild day nothing crazy, i didnt no lift shift and i never even launched hard/properly... i was worried about breaking my tranny. i have every other thing as far as mounts and axles just was being a ***** about it.
but everything went smooth and i trapped 114-115 on 16psi everytime, so im sure i can pull some 12's out of her just all in time and i have access to a trailer and truck which now i have more confidence in launching it harder and no lift shifting possibly... im still on stock clutch so with the dr's i cant really NLS it just slips the clutch. i can get away with it once or twice till the clutch gets hot then it just slips untill i let off...

im trying to dump my DR's for a set of ET's that are 7lbs lighter each... then i wont be so worried about the tranny/axles... but as of now a dr on a steelie weighs 53.8lbs... that is sooooo much i cant imagine how the tranny feels, thats 7lbs heavier than stock... so if i could get my slick to weigh in at stock weight or lighter then that would be optimal
this was my fastest time slip,
60' -- 2.213
330 -- 5.795
1/8 -- 8.648
mph -- 84.62
1000 -- 11.140
1/4 -- 13.194
mph -- 114.60

your 16's and dr's weigh that much? thats insane. i need to weigh mine if i get the chance sometime. im thinking 5 lbs lighter than the stock setup roughly. btw, since i will be at this, i want a ride!

You have no idea what you are talking about.
1. my car has the GMPP stage 3 kit, which the pcm sprays at 3500rpm and at full throttle. Making it impossible to spray off the line.
2 car has traction issues due to the the dry shot, it made over 300 tq at about 3800 rpms, this makes the tires spin.
3. my car is a one legger, there is no 2 tires spinning, just one.
4. I had drag radial and guess what, it spun them.
5. I'd like to run your car, let's see if yo can drive as good as you think
6. I dought any cobalt will hit a low 13 in Fontana, I've never seen it, has anyone???
MarqueDo7BabyBalt, thanks for your logical thinking.
